Tvær hugmyndir

Posted byneddi 310 Comments on Tvær hugmyndir

Alexander Efanov sendi okkur tvær hugmyndir. Þær eru á ensku eins og er en verða þýddar við tækifæri.

Hugmynd 1 – Strætó
There is one thing that is easy to implement right away but it might help a lot of people.

Bus system – at least inside “Great Reykjavik” should be FREE!
I understand that doesn’t make the authorities happy. Less people using their cars – less fuel sold – less fuel taxes. But if I remember right – authorities are supposed to serve people not vice versa.
And of course the whole bus system should be re-arranged. As a person who was using daily the bus system for 20 years in the city that twice as big as Iceland – I can tell with full confidence – Straeto is the most stupid system I’ve ever seen. And I was using public transportation systems in several cities and countries.

How to re-arranged? This is not a rocket science. I would need a week and a couple of bus drivers to help.
How to force authorities to do this? See my second message.

Alexander
 PS. This is not just an idea. Free buses in downtown area of Portland, Oregon have been working for 20 years (although this is not the town I mentioned above).

Hugmynd 2 -Get power back to the people of Iceland

In the good old days people of Greece created the new way of governing – democracy. They were gathering at forums (aka torg) to discuss and vote for all significant matters of their states. At that time every town was its own state – so it was easy. As towns – and states have been growing – it’s become more and more difficult to get people together at one time and at one place. So some smart person invented “people’s representatives” known in our days as Members of Parliament. And that was the beginning of the end of democracy – and the power of people. Because today the only thing these “representatives” care about is to get elected. For that they can promise you anything – and then get loose to do anything. Till next election. And they are really good at this as you know.

But back to my idea.
Iceland is really a unique country in many ways. And in these days in particular
Because Iceland is in the position to get the power back to people, get back to real direct democracy. The old limitations – gathering together to discuss and vote – is no longer a limit in Iceland. With everyone’s access to Internet it’s possible to create the Parliament of People (where all people of Iceland are Members) that will discuss all matters and vote. In fact this is what you we are doing now – discussing! But one element is still missing – ability to vote.

I know, I know that it might take a long time to change laws, Constitution etc. to make such thing happen. That’s right. But nothing can prevent YOU to set up a virtual Parliament right NOW! Just set up a server with simple voting system (by kennitala), publish there all matters discussed by professional members of Parliament and let people vote on that matters. The only trick – do not publish vote results until old Parliament declares its own result.
Yes, such votes won’t  have any legal power. BUT! It will give people the power to say what they really want and what they really think about matters. No more Gallup bullshit, no more unknown “public opinions”. And although such votes won’t have legal power – professional members would think twice what they are saying and how they are voting. As soon as such system starts to work.
And if you set up the forum where everyone can suggest anything of real significance – and this also might be decided by vote – then it won’t be a problem to force the old Parliament to take the matter into the house

Alexander
 PS. As komrad Lenin said – “Don’t ask for power – no one will give it to you. Take the power!

    a little vanilla. You might look at Yahoo’s home page and watch how
    they write post headlines to grab viewers to open the links.

    You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to get
    people excited about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it might make your posts a
    little bit more interesting.

    the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year

    this website could undeniably be one of the very best in its
    niche. Great blog!

    P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  289. An interesting discussion is worth comment.

    There’s no doubt that that you need to publish more

    and other person will also do similar for you.
