bzzzzzzzt. What really needs to be done is the voting public needs to
EDUCATE thier representives on all levels ("hey if you dont get on the
ball tech wise a large block of voters is gonna dump you like a thrice
used tea bag") about (or aboot if your canadian) the issues.
left to themselves the legislature et al would be setting up fifedoms and
protectorates.
