Voting systems have the same problem. All we needed to fix the problems laid bare in 2000 was a foolproof way to encode ballots. Open source software running on a PC connected to a card punch machine would have solved it. What we got was something that undermined the whole voting process. And at the cost of millions. Again and again and again, our decision making system allows a minority to waste our money. The only fix, in my opinion, is giving you the right to choose who represents you. And I don't mean the right to pick from two alternatives chosen by someone else, and not even getting that unless you are in the majority. If you picked your lawyer or doctor from two preselected choices and didn't even get that guy half the time, wouldn't you conclude that someone else was in control?
