The problem is, we can barely get half the people off their asses to
vote for _president_ once every four years. Not saying it's a bad idea,
just that as with anything else, a small percentage of the population
would be making the decisions. And, really, would _you_ vote on every
piece of legislation, or just the few that you know/care about?


The USA was designed to be a republic, not a boobocracy. Which is a good
thing and should not be changed. Just count an absent as "no opinion" and
get over it.
