RE: Why do we need a president?  Or any other political leader for that matter.  Be your own leader.

You have some great ideas @michaelelliot!

I agree but those people who consciously decide to forefit their own freedom is a completely different problem and I'm sure a much smaller percentage. The majority of people in my opion would give anything to at least have a choice to be free.
Also, those people who would be lost if faced with a choice true freedom, are a direct result and product of this current system. These people would be the first ones who would need our communal help and counseling to learn how to think for themselves and exercise their powers of choice and freedom.
However, this would only be in the beginning if we switched to the new online system- this group of people would only exist during the transition years. Once everyone understands and accepts the new way, it would become the norm and after a generation I believe this group were shrink to disappear.
Also a final note-
In this new online proposed system, the beauty is you don't have to vote or make a choice on anything at all if you don't want or vote on everything if you so choose. So those who have trouble in the beginning with freedom of choice do not have to do anything if they choose and defer to the majority decision.

thanks for your opinion on my piece!

    That is what I also believed . Ive been attending marches and standoffs for 30 years .Even people that demand freedom are sheep . They all demand a leader. They all march on orders and few do before they get them . When told by the very people they protest to stand down and go home I have seen them do so every time .The truly free amongst us are few and I feel so optimistic that we feel the sheep(Stockholm syndrome personal)will just snap too at some point and go ahhh I get it. These people don't even understand that? Great article and look at what just the freedom of choice of tv can throw the "free" into a dither and teach the rest a lesson? Lol good luck

        I believe the current system was laid out with a plan to keep the true power to a select few. Although I can not blame them if you had the power to control all it would be nearly impossible not to fall in to the temptations of abuse. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" as they say however it has come time to where that old way of thinking is no longer sustainable in this modern day. Those in the elite circles are making harmful decisions on behalf of all of us that is having wide ranging devastating impacts especially on the poor and lower class, which in todays world is now the majority of us. It has gotten to the point where there are only two classes in this system-The upper class and the lower class. The middle class we grew up in has all but vanished. Those with the power need to understand the time has come . Today we are all too well informed and have instant communication with each other so we can no longer be suppressed by a select few with the power of knowledge over ignorant masses.
