When Democratic ideology was first applied to large governments, it was not deemed logistically feasibile to let everyone vote on everything--and perhaps not advsieable as we don't all have time to pay attention, and we typically ask our smartest friends for advice on things.


TODAY, we still have our REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY. Granted, we don't elected our smartest friends, because voting is done through parties, so we elected the whitest people we can find who went to Harvard or Yale or wherever.



NOW...

My question is this, due to the internet, C-SPAN, or other yet to be created forums on current technology, is it possible to open up the democracy.


We debate the issues on these chatrooms like cats do on the floor of congress.

It's possible to do online voting.


Have we created the technology for full-democracy?
