Hi everybody, my name is Einat and I am new to this list.

I am interested in what is called "Direct Democracy" and in the ways that
it is evolving through the internet. Saying "Direct Democracy" I
especially refer to the new opportunities that we as citizens have now to
to give criticism that will reach many other people (including the
authorities). The net also gives us an easy way to discuss things (either
by mailing lists or online) and maybe in the future we will vote for the
government in an electronic way. But still there are problems and
disadvantages that make me wonder if our society will look different in a
few years (and I am talking about the political process and about the
democratic nature of the society only!). Questions like: Will everybody
will be able to use equally what the net can offer or how can we promise
anonymity for those who wants it  makes the possibbilty that the internet
will promote Democracy a problematic one. I wonder how many people are
actually using the net in a way that actually influence what is going on
in their country?

Einat.
