I disagree with the necessity of having them vote on everything we do being required for democracy. The only case where that is required is if we can't think for ourselves. And honestly if we can't think for ourselves we got no business electing people.

All we need are a few simple rules which limits/prevents the initiation of aggression, courts to enforce contracts and a a small army to prevent invasions. It doesn't require much work -- at most a weekend a month.
