reneMon, Dec 31, 2007 It would be great to further explore the possibilities of Voting on Issues, eliminating the need for political representation wherever possible. Instead the issues could be framed in online forums and instantly voted on, even if these votes would not be officially acknowledged by the current political system. Someone told me that there are many Second Life-like Utopian communities springing up around the world, including one in Iceland that is supposedly experimenting with new forms of democracy. Any links will be much appreciated.
