#1 Re: Civilization and Culture » Expanding The Political Debate » 2007-01-14 21:59:12

Why not eliminate political parties altogether?
Forces people to consider issues directly instead of choosing sides.
If not that then how about instituting a test on the candidates and current issues and events that people must pass in order to even vote at all.
Keeps people from voting for a particular political party just because its the party their parents voted for.  In addition it would mean that a greater percentage of votes are well informed votes...
I could elaborate further but I'm pretty dang tired,

Let me just say though that is feels fantastic to be back and involved here, I had a profile here a couple of years ago, "Nirgal82" I believe it was called (anyone remember me?  :? ).  Anyhow, things have been weird for me the past few years, but now I think I'm finally ready to participate again in Mars related discussion.

Keep up the fight!
