    I think it would be a good way to make politics public-friendly and easier to understand, for the lay-man. In general, the reason that many people do not follow politics is because they feel intimidated and ignorant of the law and the verbiage it encompasses. This would be of significent assistance and encourage participation on all fronts.

    They don’t want more participation. If less than the majority of eligible voters turns out, then a majority, by their inaction, are saying they don’t care. The more poeple don’t care, the more corruption they can get away with. That’s why you’ll never see a viable 3rd party, CONTROL.

    well geez – that doesn’t sound like as much fun as the secret shadow government on the other thread…..

    #2- OK, so just roll over and play dead. Such apathy will get you nowhere, and that’s exactly where the government would prefer you. OR, you can make up your mind to actively participate and educate yourself. It’s your decision. I wouldn’t venture to try to tell you what to do. I only know what I’ll attempt to do, for myself.
