Subject: | Re: [WDDM] Re: Regarding rule by representatives |
Why not let the participants decide for themselves what level of
representation they want?
Why not make it an individual choice on each issue?
Let's say I trust person X on issue Y, and I don't have much time to
follow this issue on a day to day basis. I could just rely on him.
But, if ever comes up something on issue Y, on which I disagree with X,
then I should be able to:
* change my representative
* override my representative on that particular thing
This should combine the best of both worlds, with less possibilities for
betrayals and waste of energy.
What do you think?

We usually think in terms of 'control' and 'limit the betrayal', but
there's also the g i f t of people willing to spend extratime and
energy. The one aspect which is usually left out, is that we are
responsible together for healthy conditions in which we all can
'blossom'.
