"TOO IGNORANT TO BE FREE" .. "TOO IGNORANT TO VOTE"
These were the sort of objections bandied about by opponents of the anti-slavery movement and the womens' right to vote movement.
Such objections will surely be broadcast about happiLaw. But today's world is living proof that the opponents of anti-slavery and the right to vote were plain wrong. The "mistakes" that will surely be made by juries of hereditors, will be limited to one law per jury. Compare this with the mistake after mistake that the same politicians make during the whole of their term in office.
A different jury for each new law, allows weeks, even months, for the jurors to "educate" each other. And it is impossible for hundreds of different juries to horsetrade decisions, as do politicians. So corrupt decisions are minimized.
The unique benefit of happiLaw is that ordinary people become involved. It is arguably the best form of civil education imaginable. It will change the whole nature of society.
