Do we as a people still need he government to make laws for us?

Just look at some of the members of mylot! Can you judge their mentality? See what garbage they write? And mylot is probably one of the better Internet sites! You really want these people to make your laws? The mind boggles!

It is an interesting idea to think that the massive communication possible now with the internet could be used to make the laws of the land. I am not so certain that it will work since most people will focus on the decisions that better them. The idea of the elected representatives is that they would carefully analyze every issue they consider and then make the best decision. First of all, it must be a decision that is for the good of the country - both now and in the future. Secondly, the decision must try to avoide helping one group of people at the expense of another group. There is no doubt that the U.S. Congress fails at this task daily, and our elected officials make decisions based on getting themselves re-elected. What a sick game it has become!

Aye, and then whom do we blame all the best urban

Yes of course we do. Because the human species as a thinking creature can do so many things and without laws governing us we would rather fall back to being barbarians. But the problem with those in power who govern us is they have no one to check them. Therefore the laws only apply to us and in some way they are above it. Which means they can break their own laws. We do not know what these people are doing behind their private doors. So government is in so many ways the same as religion. We have to have faith in those that govern us. I cannot imagine yet if there will a time when we will have no need for government, as we are far from evolving into the perfect human specie. We are only good because there is a law and some kind of punishment if we violate the rules. If we get past that phase of our humanity then we will have no need for any governing body. Einstein once said, "If we are only good because there is some form of punishment then we are sorry lot indeed". But that would be saying too much for the human race. We are based on the configuration that we have leaders. The basic foundation of leadership starts from the basic unit in society. The family leader is of course the father or mother whichever the case may be or whoever has the say in that small unit. So in conclusion we have not gone past that point of configuration where we do not need government. Let's see in a hundred years or so.

Unfortunately, yes, we do, and that is really a shame that we still to, but the governments of the world do tend to hold some semblance of order together. Even if said semblance of order has the actual durability of chewing gum holding it over. Perhaps one day, we might be able to scale back the governments to the barest minimum to succeed. Of course, in the end, someone has to be in control, and really, I don't think those who have the control right now are going to give things up any time soon. Power is an intoxicating thing, that has allowed many people to really just to run away with it and really get themselves right into quite the situation. I think that direct voting is a nice idea, but in the back of my mind, it also could be a disaster waiting to happen. Seems like were stuck with the corrupt governments for the time being.

We don't need the government for that anymore, also it doesn't matter what you vote today either. The goverments world wide decide what they do, if the elections do count (are able to change the outcome as well or say they don't care about what the people want). They fool us by telling us our economic is doing well, each year again the same lies about saving now a bit and in a few years we get our money back or have a better future, they manipulate the people by telling them it's a better future for our kids but at the same time they don't like kids. We have to help worldwide which is a lost case but nobody cares about us. We don't need the government. The government needs us. To lay hands on our money in a very easy way, to get richer themselves, they are there for their own glory. All the countries worldwide are so connected there is no way out, no way to do it your way. I hope we all will go bankrupt soon so we all can make a brand new start. Starting with our own country and people first. If you want to change the world you have to start with yourself. So the Mayan are right... the world as we know it will end soon.

us humans are not perfect, so that means we make a lot of bad choices. I couldn't imagine how much more our world would be messed up if we let users online make the laws of the lands world wide. I don't even believe that the governments around the world are doing their job correctly. been they can't, cause of them not being perfect either. So we just have to wait till God steps in to stop this mess going on world wide.
