Direct Democracy
and the Curse of the Boiled Frogs
Paperback, 6x9, 300 pages.
ISBN: 978-1-7336035-7-7
Excerpt: "In 1776, the population of the entire United States was less than the population of Chicago, Illinois today. In 1776, without cars, electricity, internet, or advanced technology, and with such a small population, a “Constitutional Republic” made sense. It was a revolutionary leap away from the rule of Kings. It was a successful model that suited the times and it worked. But it has become obsolete. By clinging to an outdated, anachronistic mode of governing, we are creating a monster. And that monster will devour us if we don’t get it under control.”
