RE: I think you have to allocate a certain percentage for each of the variations. x% for this age bracket, x% for that age bracket, etc., ...., 50% women, 50% men, w% for weathy, w% for poor, etc. How, without repealing democracy?" ------------------------------------------------------ A Democracy is suppose to be representative of the population, which ours is very, very, very far from being. In fact in one country, percent allocations are mandated for each party, rather than what our system has which is "winner of Congress takes it all, let's ignore 50% of the population that voted for the other party." Unlike the USA, in this foreign democratic country, they would never have a situation where 50% of the population is ignored because representation is percent allocated per party. This means you get more negotiating, more representation, regardless of the party "in charge." It's substantially less of a dictatorship style, and more of a true democracy. The USA's system theoretically might have the potential to be representative of the people if all factions were voted in, but in reality it never is. The problem with the USA is its theories do not match its reality. In reality, the USA is not a democratic country. But a percent-based allocation system that guarantees true representation of the people in reality and in actuality, is a true democractic system. And this already has been implemented in a foreign country, it's a more true democractic system. The USA needs to get caught up with the rest of the world democracies in this regards, through a percent-based allocation system so all people are truly represented. If you believe in the reality of people being represented, then a percent-based allocation system is natural to that belief. Regards, Amy J
