"...burn it to the ground. Then what? What will replace it?"

This is what I keep coming back to. Even if he/she is 100% correct, suggesting we burn it down without offering suggestions for how to make it better afterwards is nothing more than a rant.

Which is fine, if they have something to get off their chest. But this should be recognized as such.



The alternative is very simple and was already tried in Ancient Greeks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition


How about campaign finance reform? At the moment it's like "one dollar, one vote".

There's also the issue that becoming a politician takes money, free time and a degree from somewhere where the College Republicans/Democrats have a really active chapter. I have no idea how to fix this problem.
