      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[&amp;#8230;]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;-M: Yes, but you are spreading the accountability way too thinly. :-(&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt;mG: -This is claimed by you, please proove it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt; I could argue that the people of Switzerland, or Socrates probably&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt; wouldn&amp;#8217;t agree with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt;-M: When two wolves and one sheep vote for whats for dinner, the wolves&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; are not accountable to the sheep. Do you want to be the sheep?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; Likewise, do you want to be ruled by lemmings?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG:[&amp;#8230;] the comparison with wolfs and sheep is nonsence&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; since we are discussing equal righted humans&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: Which is why, with SD2-S, that everyone initially has equal voting&lt;br /&gt;
power.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
SD2-S is &lt;strong&gt;democratic&lt;/strong&gt;-republicanism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG:&amp;#8230;with possibility to be anonymous. And the bill of rights is not existent for the sheep.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; Neither are there laws, &lt;span class="caps"&gt;TOP&lt;/span&gt; or media to cover the dinner of the wolfes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="readMore" href="#" onclick="Element.hide(this); Element.removeClassName(this.parentNode.nextSibling, 'tooLarge'); return false;"&gt;Read more&amp;#8230; / Lire plus&amp;#8230;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="tooLarge"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: If AD uses the lemming algorithm,&lt;br /&gt;
then the wolves can dupe the lemmings into a dinner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;&amp;gt;mG: But not all can be solved by expendable top. Some issues are best&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt;&amp;gt; handled by broad participation&amp;#8230;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt;-M: &amp;#8220;&amp;#8230;broad participation&amp;#8230;&amp;#8221; can be useful, and this is allowed and&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; even encouraged by SD2-S.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG: -Well, whats mainly encouraged in SD2 is voting for a rep. I would say.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; AD is doing it the other way around, with the possibility for a&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; delegate. But this is my last comparison with systems that actually can bothe be&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; options in a future &lt;span class="caps"&gt;TOP&lt;/span&gt; organization or country government.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; This debate is not leading to anywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: You said &amp;#8220;SD2&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; and yes, this is for selecting reps.&lt;br /&gt;
But the system I am talking about is &lt;strong&gt;SD2-S&lt;/strong&gt;, which has specialists for&lt;br /&gt;
every issue,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
so this functions much like your &amp;#8216;delegates&amp;#8217; of AD.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, I don&amp;#8217;t see the comparison.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;-M: In a DD, the lemmings are not accountable to the other lemmings and&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; non-lemmings, just as with the wolf/sheep example. (I got this from the revolutionary Ben Franklin.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG: -Ben was wrong and he knew it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: Franklin and Hamilton were the best anti-imperialists this world&lt;br /&gt;
has seen.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Gandhi and Nehru were populistic wussies by comparison.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG: He just needed to justify his own and other reps. future power.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; There is no logic in this since the lemmings in a RD are not neither&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; accountable to each other. So they can go and elect Hitler.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: Again, the debate isn&amp;#8217;t RD vs DD,&lt;br /&gt;
its lemming-algorithm vs Markov-algorithms,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
and in the above example it is the lemming-algorithm which selected&lt;br /&gt;
Hitler.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So this is a point against you, and not me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG: By contrast either you or Franklin has a similar example to show for&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; DD. Just BS theory frankly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: You keep attacking L-RD.&lt;br /&gt;
You are attacking the lemming algorithm which supports DD.&lt;br /&gt;
I will let you continue to whup yourself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;&amp;gt;mG: -The people will never allow corruption if they see it and a&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt; possibility to remove it, this is prooven many times in history&amp;#8230;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt;-M: &lt;span class="caps"&gt;EVERY&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SINGLE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;FORM&lt;/span&gt; OF &lt;span class="caps"&gt;CORRUPTION&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="caps"&gt;WITHOUT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;EXCEPTION&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HAS&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;BEEN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;CORRUPTION&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;ALLOWED&lt;/span&gt; BY &lt;span class="caps"&gt;THE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;PEOPLE&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;mG: -As smart as saying that a burglar would meet no resistance in peoples&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; homes. Explain why anybody would accept stealing of his property?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: Ignorance and lack of vigilence.&lt;br /&gt;
This is why intelligent and vigilent people must be selected to lead&lt;br /&gt;
government.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is why SD2-S has a peer-endorsement algorithm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;-M: Its your BS. What is needed is a mechanism to find those that are&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; counter-corruption because the people as a mass can&amp;#8217;t do it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG: -It will be impossible within a true &lt;span class="caps"&gt;TOP&lt;/span&gt; organization to steal.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; Your problem is how a rep can be fully &lt;span class="caps"&gt;TOP&lt;/span&gt; since he can&amp;#8217;t be followed&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; and tapped 24/7. Concentate on solving that instead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: I envision SD2-S to be &lt;span class="caps"&gt;TOP&lt;/span&gt; complient,&lt;br /&gt;
so you aren&amp;#8217;t making a comparison again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;&amp;gt;mG: Maybe your invented people of lemmmings acts differently.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt;-M: No differently than their lemminghood of history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG: -???Empty words again about the history. Where are the relevant&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; examples?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: The bottom 50% percent of income earners in the world own only 1%&lt;br /&gt;
of the world.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is a result of lemmingism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;shanti&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;-M: So the decision threshold defaults to 60%, but someone can choose&lt;br /&gt;
50%-70%.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And these thresholds are for all issues, not specific issues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-OK, looks fine to me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;-M: &lt;span class="caps"&gt;WTF&lt;/span&gt; for?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-For the same reasons as above.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;-M: In a DD, the lemmings are not accountable to the other lemmings and&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;-M: With SD2-S, people vote for both &lt;strong&gt;needed number of votes from the&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; active voting population&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;needed percentage of those voters in&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; favor of the issue&lt;/strong&gt;. In the above case, this refers to &lt;strong&gt;percentage of actual voter support&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG: -Sounds complicated. Does all issues have thresholds from the beginning&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; and how are they set?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: Have you seen my input field?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-M: So the decision threshold defaults to 60%, but someone can choose&lt;br /&gt;
50%-70%.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And these thresholds are for all issues, not specific issues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;&amp;gt;mG: Show me one in AD and will comment on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt;-M: It may not be in AD, but would occur outside of AD if AD was&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; implimented. As I said to Emmanuel, SD2-S is about minimizing external complexity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;&amp;gt;mG: &lt;del&gt;Yes but SD2 is concentrating power, AD is spreading to as many as&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt; possible, quite a big difference..&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt;-M: Yes, but you are spreading the accountability way too thinly. :&lt;/del&gt;(&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG: -This is claimed by you, please proove it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; I could argue that the people of Switzerland, or Socrates probably&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; wouldn&amp;#8217;t agree with you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: When two wolves and one sheep vote for whats for dinner, the wolves&lt;br /&gt;
are not accountable to the sheep. Do you want to be the sheep?&lt;br /&gt;
Likewise, do you want to be ruled by lemmings?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;-M: SD2-S has real-time voting and a known power-line up.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; Everyone at the top is expendable. They will know and serve the base of society -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG: But not all can be solved by expendable top. Some issues are best&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; handled by broad participation&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: &amp;#8220;&amp;#8230;broad participation&amp;#8230;&amp;#8221; can be useful, and this is allowed and&lt;br /&gt;
even encouraged by SD2-S.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG:&amp;#8230;and decisions taken by all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: &lt;span class="caps"&gt;WTF&lt;/span&gt; for?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;OR &lt;span class="caps"&gt;ELSE&lt;/span&gt;. By contrast, the lemmings are not accountable to each other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG: -Another example of non prooven BS. Either you present some evidence&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; for it or remain silent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: In a DD, the lemmings are not accountable to the other lemmings and&lt;br /&gt;
non-lemmings, just as with the wolf/sheep example. (I got this from the&lt;br /&gt;
revolutionary Ben Franklin.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;-M: The lemmings are duped into allowing corruption.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; This is why an anti-corruption algorithm like SD2-S is needed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG: -The people will never allow corruption if they see it and a&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; possibility to remove it, this is prooven many times in history&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: &lt;span class="caps"&gt;EVERY&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SINGLE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;FORM&lt;/span&gt; OF &lt;span class="caps"&gt;CORRUPTION&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="caps"&gt;WITHOUT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;EXCEPTION&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HAS&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;BEEN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="caps"&gt;CORRUPTION&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;ALLOWED&lt;/span&gt; BY &lt;span class="caps"&gt;THE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;PEOPLE&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG:&amp;#8230;so you are coming with more BS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: Its your BS. What is needed is a mechanism to find those that are&lt;br /&gt;
counter-corruption because the people as a mass can&amp;#8217;t do it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;mG: Maybe your invented people of lemmmings acts differently.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-M: No differently than their lemminghood of history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;shanti&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Mark, Seattle WA &lt;span class="caps"&gt;USA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
