How would we define a big mistake given the divisive nature of politics? The practically useless American government would become even more stagnant due to each side trying to punish the other over every little decision. Just imagine the Republican behavior over Obamacare if we had a punishment protocol in place.

So, it would be nice to hold politicians more accountable, but the potential abuse of such a system would make it more harmful than good.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
