This stupid and insane violence we see so much of is the direct result of the powerlessness of the powerless.
Our government officials and talking heads, worldwide, taut our system as a civilized and representative democracy.
Periodically they let us, the citizens, vote for representatives who, each and everyone, promise to do the right thing.
Voting for someone to change government policy is the only means we have to redress our grievances.
Yet the Congress and Legislatures openly admit that they do not read, examine or debate any of the laws they vote on. In the USA, they vote on one hundred - 2,000 page laws per day.
The honest representative admits that they vote the way their advisors tell them to vote.
According to the powerless, nothing changes except for the worse.
As responsible Citizens, we must develop a way to evaluate 200 Thousand pages of law speak per day.
This evaluation must be public, transparent and in a form that the representative can view in order make their vote congruent with that of their constituents.
Ross Perot called it The Electronic Townhall.
