The Democratic system needs to be updated in USA. 4 branches of government: legislative, executive, judicial, people (internet).
We nee to devise a parallel government that can take the rains when the west fails.
So Lets make happen =)
heck yes. We are to blame for the problems so we can also be the solution. Lets be sure OWS has this in front of them to debate. This is the right direction for us to take. 4th branch of gov is needed.
This is truly revolution.
this is great.......Common Sense 3.1
The American people are supposed to be in charge - but we are not. We are supposed to be in control - but we are not. There are things that our government has done and is still doing in the name of the American people which make us responsible - but we are not. Then are we really worthy to be what it is we hold to be sacred - “Americans”.
The root of the message conveyed by Thomas Paine is the same; government of the people, by the people and for the people. These are high expectations that we’ve never met but we still strive to achieve to the best of our abilities. Unfortunately, over the passage of time our government has slowly reduced its citizens to little more than just slaves. We like to blame the politicians, big business, the President, anyone and anything else except ourselves for the horrendous state that our country is in. We the people are the real blame for our countries problems. Not the current or past administrations. Not big business or the bankers. They are just symptoms of a much deeper root cause. We are the rotten root of the problem. For 233 years, we let our government do whatever it pleased. For 233 years we ran our government like an absentee owner. If you don't have health care, a job, hope, money, a home, a good education, etc…, don't blame it on the government. We the people are the blame. The buck doesn't stop with the president. It stops with the people. If you are hated around the world, afraid to travel abroad, in fear of terrorism, mad because the banks are getting bailed out with your money and you can't get a loan, if your life savings and retirement have been wiped out or stolen, upset because we're dying in wars that have no end and make no sense, upset because the government failed miserably at responding to help your city after a hurricane, flood or any natural disaster, upset because your country is turning into a police state, upset because gas and food prices keep rising while your pay is falling, upset because your government is trying to tax you for any purpose it can think of, upset because your government is trying to chip away at your rights for any purpose it can think of, upset because millions of barrels of oil are ruining your coasts, upset because your standard of living is declining, upset because your children are not getting a proper education, upset because your country and your government are for sale... just calm down. It's easy to find the dirty rotten scoundrel that is responsible for this mess. Just look in the mirror. We the people are the blame – “We the people” sat by and let it happen without doing one single thing about it. That's what happens when you don't show up to work for 233 years. We can no longer afford to be absent or passive citizens. The stakes are too high this late in the game. We have 233 years of work piled up and waiting. It is our responsibility to deal with it. A mess has never dealt with itself. Our government didn't create itself and it can’t fix itself. Can you imagine someone giving themselves a triple heart bypass and major brain surgery all at once? Forget about it! Your responsibility as a citizen doesn't end with voting and criticizing the government.
Today we have the wisdom and technology to meet the original and correct expectations of the founding fathers. True government by the people is here and waiting for the American people to take hold of. We are the first to have a real choice unlike our ancestors who had to settle for less. Because of the limitations of their day, the founding fathers had to settle for something less than a true democracy (Direct Democracy),. They had to settle for a republic. We don't have to settle for an inferior and outdated system of government. In fact, It can no longer support healthy growth or the management of a modern civilization. In a real democracy the words “government by the people, for the people and of the people” are literal, and not just flowery rhetoric to placate the masses. All Americans should learn this if they don't know it. America has never been a democracy. "We the people" really don't have much choice or control over our own lives or our own government because we're really not a Democracy. The United States is a Republic not a Democracy. So if you feel like your government is ignoring you, now you know why. In a republic, It matters very little what we say or what we want because we are not in charge. This is not a real democracy. The sooner we learn this, the sooner we can begin to make real progress. Civil disobedience, protesting, marching and rioting won’t change anything. This is why the American people feel so hopeless and disillusioned about real change and their future. They don't see a way out. So in summary, we need to transition our republic to a real democracy. We don't have to settle for the illusion of democracy when we can have the real thing and the benefits that come with it. And we certainly don't have to live like this anymore - like slaves to a revolving two party dictatorship.
An idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvm58kpBQmc
This idea has been laid out since 2006 at this site:

But I like it!! Kudos
a very well thought out post
What about the (majority of) people who aren't on the goddamned internet~?...ehh?!
Goddamned provisions will be made for that. What about the people who vote now, that can't make it to the polls? They still vote.
Idiotic
explain why "Idiotic"
Well people hack into the pentagon because its a challenge. The security on a peoples branch nline would have to be godly to stop hackers.
You right!, Security is a issue of design and operational. Probably the government would need a security team to defend the democratic space online. But putting people in the Senate and at the White House over the internet is still a good idea.
i actually agree with you and have mentioned this several time on this forum.
Security can be maintained using the V2 (internet version 2)
