On: Lawrence Lessig: How to Get Our Democracy Back

[Kilimanjaro]

"our government is corrupt"

Those in power want it to be corrupt to perpetuate themselves in power. Those aspiring for power become corrupted once they get there.

Small government, local voting and decision making. Direct democracy. No politician wants a reform for they will be left out.

We must burn down the government to save it.

more, smaller governments (competition forces better customer service) is an easy win for liberty. unfortunately smaller governments can't resist black swans as effectively (napolean running through the italian city states like butter).
