Could the people rule by voting in the policies that we want right here on Yahoo Answers?

Have you heard "Hannity On The Street" or watched "Jay (Leno) Walking" lately?  Too many of "the people"  lack a basic knowledge of who is even in office now.  These ignoramuses should not be voting in elections much less "on-line" to decide policies, the details and implications of which they really have no concept.  Lord help us if they are put in charge of deciding the fate of the free world.   Oh well, they did vote Democrat last week so point made.

I have to agree with you.  Isn't this government by the people for the people.  Why aren't they letting the people make the decisions?  It wouldn't be a biased vote, it would for once be an honest vote of what the people really want in this country.

Just be patient Karl, hopefully, things will move to help our votes really be our votes. In the meantime, I put a link in that may interest you.

Yes, Americans will allow Bush to do what he wants. The administration has succeeded in paralyzing many people into non-action. I recommend that you go here, and get invovled!\nBush is not,"We The People", but it is clear he doesn't care much what we think.\n\nhttp://www.thefourreasons.org/

YES- Absolutely. As individuals, the best thing you can do to change anything is vote.\nIf you don't vote, you don't get to complain.\nThanks so much for bringing up an important point.

Every country has the government and political system it deserves. That includes the electoral rules and systems.\n\nSo if things are not right (and I agree that they are not right), the people will have to act accordingly.\n\nNo country can be ruled or controlled against the will of the people. However, if the people are too dumb, ignorant or lazy to care for their own future, you get a country like the USA.\n\nThose who don't care will be taken care of.

It's hard to do so, I do believe that there are many responsible countries out there that are really trying, but not every country is a responsible one, some counties are ruled by selfish rulers who's only concern is power that they can acquire for them selves. I think it best if counties are ruled by governments that allow their citizens to have a voice, when we can get the world on board with that I think we might have a chance.

Yes they can make any law they want. They often do. We vote them in we can vote them out, but this doesn't appear to do the trick either in many instances. It it my opinion that the corrupt corrupt others, so it is a never ending cycle. Many people have given up, so it mekes their ability to "do what they want" easier.

Good question, what we need to do is profoundly change the system and the people who run it.
