The best answer is that I like it better the closer it is to me, and the more say I have in the matter.

But it is also true that I don't like being told what to do...

Right.

Do you agree that pure democracy is practically unworkable? As opposed to the representative democracy we have currently? I understand that you weren't being literal. I'm just curious as to where you draw the line between absolute subsidiarity, and the efficiency of granting a certain latitude for governmental autonomy.

Or, more simply, at what point would you be willing to permit government to make decisions, without the direct and universal imprimatur of the electorate?
