Direct democracy is the most evil thing ever invented. The CAGOP doesn't help.

I like the way they do it out East much better. The legislatures there actually do something, rather than being thrall to the capricious electorate. The only things that should be passable by a simple popular majority are bond measures (and they should also require passage by both houses). Amendments should require a two-thirds majority in both houses and a two-thirds popular majority.

While we're talking about changes we'd like to see, I like the way Georgia does elections (two-round primary and two-round general election). I especially like the two-round primary, although I can understand why it hasn't caught on in jurisdictions with two parties.
