Let's put EVERYTHING up to popular votes!
Then we will have TRUE DEMOCRACYpure and simple!!!
Forget checks & balances, forget the reasons for those checks & balances, we can have nothing less than democ... uh... pure, unsullied mob rule. As Kipling once put it:
Whether The People be led by The Lord,
Or lured by the loudest throat:
If it be quicker to die by the sword
Or cheaper to die by vote—
These are things we have dealt with once,
(And they will not rise from their grave)
For Holy People, however it runs,
Endeth in wholly Slave.
Kipling would be banned under mob rule. He spoke too much truth.
