Dear Hamid:
One practical skill you could
build in your civilians is learning to run meetings by Roberts Rules of
Order. These rules are simple and clear and guide small groups of
people to disucss issues, clarify action options and vote
in democratic fatshion to choose the best ones for action by the
group. You can Google to find publishers of the Rules, or maybe even
a copy available to simply download from the Internet.
Best regards, Bill
McConochie.

In the time we are discussing intellectual prospective of
direct democracy, people and humanity is suffering of dicatatorships,
corrupt and half democracies. To build an ideal and perfect
democracy is not an easy case bacause nature
and livings rules are
complicated and all questions and mysteries are not answered yet. We can
not build a perfect
democracy from beginning but we can start
somewhere based on some simple principles decided in democratic way by
majority of people while we are trying to satisfy even minorities as
long as possible. One of these principles can be that
no one is
allowed to decide in behalf of others and normal minded adults
against their will. Later on we can continue by
making new
decisions in democratic way to solve new problems and
desires.
