Wired News: Saving Democracy With Web 2.0
Democracy shouldn’t need saving but the U.S., the old man of democracy, has not been respectful of the rights that democracy offers. I am an American living in Tokyo, Japan and I made sure that my vote was heard. But in the electoral college system no single vote is heard. I voted in a state were bush wasn’t a close second but that didn’t matter just as in 2000. I digress, here’s an article on remedial democracy for those who want to be spoon fed information but I’m not talking to that audience now. It seems to me that someone who reads blogs wants information. I’m getting completely off track but this topic gets to me. It’s embarrassing around election time to explain to my Japanese friends what is meant by American democracy but watch as it becomes a joke as 50% vote. This time make a difference get involved and vote in November I already sent mine in.Wired News: Saving Democracy With Web 2.0
