More succinctly, "Democracy is four wolves and a sheep voting on lunch." Up the republic!
Yeah, though representative government is four wolves voting on _which_ sheep to have for lunch.
Actually, elections are more like four sheep voting on which wolf they want to be eaten by. .snail
This is a great example of a issue we don't need to agree on. The underlying cryptographic tools needed for private voting and digital cash are practically the same. Once the common tools are written, each side can go finish off their own user interfaces, one labelled "cash market" and the other "voting booth". So let's quit bickering and write those tools!
