[Fsf-friends] A possible breakthrough...

"...Obama has also often spoken of taking e-governance to the next
level, using technology to create a more open and direct relationship
between the government and the people.

This would mean both soliciting public opinion much more aggressively
and also tapping into public expertise on selected subjects. Ideally,
this would mean that the ordinary citizen would be able to lobby the
president just as the big corporations do on a regular basis...."

--------

Ideally, it should be that "ordinary citizens should be able to lobby
the government [president] more than as the big corporations do,
inversely proportional to their access to power-structures ..." -
powerless ones having the most significant say in politics.

Then, we can see where the world order goes.
