Standard Mischief

Since we are talking about revising laws…

…What happens when “We the People” take a stab at it?

I mean, it can’t get any worst then our crummy Rep-o-crats and the damn Dem-o-publcans, can it?

Wikocracy is a experiment in free-for-all law revisions. Everything is up for grabs here, laws, regulations, judgments, legislation from the bench, from the executive branch, or from congress. Even the very mother documents that birthed this great county are up for revisions. Nothing is sacred.

This is a test…

To see what happens when everyone can write and revise the law. It may sound like a free-for-all. But that’s exactly the point– to make the process of law-making free for all.

On this platform, you can freely edit the USA PATRIOT Act, The Digital Millennium Copyright Act, your State’s law on gay marriage, your city’s zoning ordinances. If you’d like to change a law that is not yet on this platform, you can easily create a page and import the text you want to change. You can also write your own laws, post blogs, collaborate and spar with other users. Check out our FAQ if you have specific questions.

Although there are some suggested guidelines and tips that will facilitate this experiment, there are no rules. Nothing on this platform is legally binding. One person’s changes can be revised or reversed by the next. Over time, this platform could reflect a collaborative statement of what we think the law should be. Or it could reflect a moment-by-moment statement of the most recent editor’s views. This will be as bloody or as civil as you make it…

This is only a test.

I predict this will get ugly real fast. Might be fun to watch though.
