I agree. I have been worried about this for a long time and thus have been constructing a POSITIVE alternative to complaining about the way things work in politics. For two years I've been working on a model for a global democracy that is intended to be immune to centralization and directly connected to the inherent human moral sensibility. (The dedicated site is temporarily down, but) please check it out the alternative site at:

I'd love to have this idea taken over for development by a group dedicated to the concept of power rooted in the people.
