When I was in high school I loved the idea of government by referendum. I soon came to hate it when I realized elected representatives were using it to duck accountability on politically charged decisions and that votes were determined by money and campaigns which appealed to voter's emotions. I routinely vote against any referendum issue (and we get a lot of them in California), unless it is something really pressing which I fear the gutless cowards in the state house will fail to deal with otherwise. Spineless bastards.
