= let schools and universitys do the research because they are the ones that are doing it now and they are much cheeper .

Let's say every one of us is making 10 dollars a month and that money looses value, so you'd have to spend one of your dollars at the money office to keep it's original value and you have 9 dollars left. If, however, you have spent the money on something you need or borrowed it to someone who needed it, you have either the goods, or an outstanding loan. If the other wants to repay you, he, of course, pays the full 10 dollars. I can't explain it as well as the article, but in the end the result is that money flows to the place where there is the most need.

I will read the homepage you posted

I meant: say you pay 1000 euros in tax. Under this system you can decide where 100 euros of it go to. This amount can be gradually increased (200, 300, etc.). If you don't want to make a decision, it will end up on the big pile of taxes that the government spends, thereby being spend on everything the government spends money on.

This is a good idea.

Whats the difference between an indirect democracy and a republic? what confuses me is that when we elect senators to vote for us, we call it a democracy, but when romans do it, we call it a republic. when is it used incorrectly or are they both the same thing?

It absolutely does not matter what the 'proper' definition is because sheer weight of the numbers insures that democracy, even practiced 'properly' is still going to SUCK.

If you lived in a village of fifty people, then you could probably find a consensus agreement on whatever issue that would allow everyone to be satisfied.

When you have a city that has 500,000 individuals in it that have a vote, then, you got this;

150,000 ppl don't vote at all, because of apathy.

(what created this apathy? Could it be the heartless, impersonal system of democracy IN THE FIRST PLACE? hmmmm)

180,000 ppl vote 'yes' on whatever issue

150,000 ppl vote 'no'

20,000 ppl feel their position is not represented ('No taxation without representation' ???? riiiiiighhhhttttt.......Representation FOR WHO??? The cconstitution didn't say. The ppl that wrote it are, surely, spinning in their graves at about 5500 RPM)


Democracy only works well on a small scale.

I highly recommend the movie 'Idiocracy' for anyone who wants to know where this country is really going. It is satire, but let me tell you, it is SPOT ON in the observations about our moronic, greedy, yes, IDIOTIC culture.

"electrolytes... it's what plants crave."

Why has democracy and human rights failed in islam? If not is it because democracy and human rights have failed in most parts of Asia, Middle east, eastern Europe, Africa and latin america?

I think the answer to your question is that the highest religous authorities would argue that democracy and human rights are man made and that the word of God(Be it the Koran, The Bible or Any other text) is supposed to be the word of God. A devine force that is perfect and man is a mere human being subject to the will of the ever envious and controlling evil forces that run havoc down here on Earth.

In places like China, They understand that if one is connected to the spirit they do not long for the material and have no drive to strive in the economical and technological markets of the world to which in the past 5 years China has dominated. China have a hardcore policy, Live and Work OR Die.

Also they introduced Falun Gong in 1992 and promoted to all the people and then in 1999, In a space of 2 days decided it was illegal and any one practising it was to be detained and "re-educated". Re-education really means Beat, Tortured, Humiliated and often killed. For practising a few peacefull exercises while cultivating a new frame of mind and gaining a new perspective on life???

Communism makes machines out of countrys, People are merely spare parts. Being born in China makes you a drain on the economy and surplus to the communist macine...

I thought it was a corporation?

I fail to understand what "it" is, Could you clarify for me please?
