    Quote: A true democracy is something that is also unrealistic because then who will be the ones to tally the votes? Oh, vote on them eh? Great plan, who tallies THOSE votes in the mean time? Not to mention that once that's done, regardless of what side wins, the loosers may call farce upon whoever took the votes, and then a recount. Eventually, a large group gets sick of this, and boom, war and anarchy. A goverment is needed to control voting.

    Uh, no. The system works GREAT for groups of maybe 10,000 and less. In fact for a political unit that size or smaller I'd say its definitely the best form of government there is. As evidenced by how lots of towns have been operating on a government form that uses that idea as the base of its system for hundreds of years now... and Athens lasted on even purer form of it for a long time...

    You don't vote every day. You vote when there is a issue that needs a vote... for smaller groups its not like this is every day or anything... you have occasional votes (with a bunch of votes at once I'd assume) and then some people count it. Just like any system. Then its law... just like how those citizen initives that get on the state ballot (with enough signatures) become state law if a majority of the people vote for it... well in this state anyway...
