The world needs to revert to the one true democracy once more, that of  
Cleistenes in Ancient Athens. "Cleisthenes also instituted a council  
(and the) use of a lottery to make the final selection of members,  
ensured that no individual, however wealthy or powerful, could  
improperly influence its decisions."

Wouldn't that be nice, no lobbying, no electioneering, no corruption  
(well less corruption), and we all have an equal chance of fixing the  
country. If you get someone incompetent, well, then its just like we  
have it now.

Long live Athens! Death to Sparta!
