I don't necessarily disagree. I wish it wasn't necessary. But of the 535 some odd representatives we have, it'd seem like maybe 10 are reasonable at any one time. I just want the raw number of reasonable voices to increase, that's all. if it can be done with less statist parasites, that'd be better.
RATHER, here's a idea some old liberal suggested to me once, do a draft for public representation. instead of army service, every citizen should have to serve as a public servant for 2 years before theyre 40 or something... and give'm all a 40k salary and once u served ur time, u can only work as a public official for a total of 10 years or soemthing, so stooges don't clog up the system. again, i dont want to create a giant parasite class of govt "workers", and I have no idea how to encourage this to come about, cus obviously the current system wont let it happen, but that's what oughta happen. then you'd have a lot of people who don't want to be there, but since they're there, they'll make the most of it or call our the corruption impedeing their progress. i dunno, just an idea.
It's an old idea, and not necessarily a liberal one...William F. Buckley said he'd rather be governed by the first 100 names in the phone book way back in the 1960s.
