I guess if you don't want to have a philosophy, take heed of history, or think about the future, that's one option. Just think about short-term results.
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.
Like I said, it's a bad idea because the public is fickle and ignorant. This is why we have a representative republic.
And like I also said, this would require an amendment that will never happen.
So, to sum up, it's a foolish idea and it will ever happen. So, other than that, I think it's great.
