Of course the answer is no. Far too many legal and social hurdles to cross (not to mention technological).

However, in the spirit of playing along, and in light of the fact that it's Friday, I'll throw in this quote from Deus Ex which I always found interesting:

> The checks and balances of democratic governments were invented because humans themselves realized how unfit they were to govern themselves. They needed a system, yes. An industrial age machine.

> Without the use of computing machines they had to arrange themselves in crude structures that formalized decision-making. A highly imperfect and unstable solution.
