Reply #123: well, I had an idea about elections in this country

[newspeak]

couldn't be as bad as what we got now. There's a town in Italy that actually draws lots for city council. All citizens must be up to date on governance and issues because they may be called to serve. So, I was thinking we could draw lots for the house (must serve unless mentally incapacitated or have valid reason) the house choses the senate--you could pick a professor of economy or a top environmentalist. The president is the only one elected All citizens must study on current events and political science. Just think how much money we could save--and corporations don't count as a person--corporations cannot be chosen.

You might say it's a civil draft--well, that's my fantasy.
