[ale] OMG politics goes digital?

[Kevin Krumwiede]

Hear, hear!

The problem is, it's futile to attack the monster's lofty head by trying to
seat independents in Congress, the White House, etc.  We must go for its
feet, by taking over city councils, mayors' offices, state congresses...
Pull the political and financial support out from below, and Big Government
will topple.

I have the solution... stop "electing" the mouthpiece that the big money
corporations put up for election and start "selecting" our government
representatives by random draft of ordinary citizens. If we're smart
enough to serve on jury duty, standing in judgement of peoples lives,
then we're MORE than smart enough to serve in congress. Then, and ONLY
then, will we have a government "of the people, by the people and for
the people" instead of the mess we have now. (i.e., by the corporation,
for the corporation)
