Perhaps it's time to update our legislative system.

"Athenian democracy developed around the fifth century B.C.E. The Greek idea of democracy was different from present-day democracy because, in Athens, all adult citizens were required to take an active part in the government. ... When a new law was proposed, all the citizens of Athens had the opportunity to vote on it."

Instead of voting for a local representative to represent us and make policy on our behalf, maybe we should have a more active role in shaping the policies ourselves.

The problem with any system ultimately is the people running them. Sooner or later the temptations of power begets corruption and corruption begets deterioration of the system and thus the quality of our lives.
