Should congress be replaced by facebook?

[Yorrik]

Yes, why the Hell not?

George Washington once wisely warned the American people against political parties. They foolishly ignored his good advice. Now look at the mess. You don't get government of the people for the people and by the people, what you get (same here in UK) is political gangsters claiming to have a right to this and that because they have a 'mandate' from the people.

What a load of hogwash! What of those (often in a majority in some constituencies) who do not support the government?

And what of the overall total votes? Has anyone bothered to add them up? How many voted for party X and how many for party Y?

But, as someone in Athens once said, "The people get the government they deserve."

I'll be totally honest. If the people want change, then they are not going to get 'change' by sitting around chewing the fat on the issue. No. They've got to get out on the streets and set about the physical task of taking over the town where they live, then the city and the state and then the entire country.

Facebook and Twitter make elected governments irrelevant. But politicians fear such ideas because it means their ultimate demise.

The next generation may not want to put up with all the crap we've had thrown at us over the years.

Angry Pensioner who is now being told by the UK.gov to go back to work or lose my pension. And the person who started this evil back to work for anyone over 70+ is a fat idle bastard sitting in the house of lords being paid a pension out of my 50 years of taxes at the rate of 150-thousand pounds a year plus a daily fee of about 300-pound for being in the house of lards.

Death comes to us all and to some, sooner than they think.
