This is the 21st Century. Do we need Congress?

It is the holiday season of 2010 and the best-selling gifts are those that are "connected." The Internet has become woven into our personal fabric to a greater extent. We are able to communicate our preferences in more ways than before.

Meanwhile, elected officials are busy implementing our preferences in new legislation on a daily basis. The way they receive information about our preferences is like this: They tell us their preferences and we elect them or we elect somebody else. Handshaking and baby-kissing are not the main tools, but what we have is no less antiquated. Perhaps it is time to re-evaluate what we really have on our hands.
