<i>The idea of open citizen voting directly on all issues terrifies me. I see democratic representation as a way to pay someone to read and understand all of the legal jargon most people won&#x27;t take the time to bother with.</i><p>Except they don&#x27;t really either.<p>They typically have a rather large staff to do that for them, and paid lobbyists fill in the rest, along with large contributions of course.<p>To be honest, I find this lack of faith in the intelligence and integrity of your fellow man&#x2F;woman rather disturbing, especially in this current social-justice warrior environment where we are <i>all</i> depending more on each other to get things right.
