You need a stronger argument for changing our form of constitutional gov't than you happen to like some of the results.

Why? I would think whether or not people like the results of a particular form of government is the only reason they would need to keep it or change it.

It's not much of a change, anyway. We already do it. For every good referendum there are bad ones. For every good decision by a legislature there are bad ones.

Why? Why? The Framers of our Constitution knew why direct democracy was a bad idea. Why not study them?

Who already does it? Did I miss the last big National Referendum? I thought this was someone's lamebrain suggestion that we radically alter our Constitution. Now I hear we already do this?
