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

Why?

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

It's not much of a change, anyway. We already do it.

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?

No. Why do I need another reason other than whether or not I like the results? That seems to be a good guide.

You see. We do it on a state level now all the time. Now just expand that concept in your mind. Imagine all 50 states voting on the same issue at the same time. It's just a little bit more than what we do now. Kind of like Powerball - a multi-state effort.
