From my conversations with this young poster he seems to think history irrelevant as any indication of the present.

What history ?
Athens is missing many componets therefore isn't directly related.
Look at how different the world was then.

What is you have no answer, so my point is indirectly proven.
I bet any grade schooler could find many differences between our current global state and the state then as obvious.
You are entitled to your own opinion, but I implore you to consider the possibility.

In other words you can't. As usual I might add. At least you're consistent (at being wrong)

I'm not playing your game. It is irrelvant to what I am proposing.
What I see from this is that you are too set in your ways to even take a glimpse at other prospects.
You really can't think of one difference?

Us Now
Quote:
Can we all govern? Us Now looks at how 'user' participation could transform the way that countries are governed. It tells the stories of the online networks whose radical self-organising structures threaten to change the fabric of government forever. Us Now follows the fate of Ebbsfleet United, a football club owned and run by its fans; Zopa, a bank in which everyone is the manager; and Couch Surfing, a vast online network whose members share their homes with strangers.

"Participation was by no means open"
You mean the game of providing evidence to back your claims? Yes I'm quite aware that you don't play that game. 
Actually it's you that are too set in your ways to see anything but your pov.

I provided you an example . . .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athenian_democracy
"Athenian democracy developed in the Greek city-state of Athens, comprising the central city-state of Athens and the surrounding territory of Attica, around 508 BC. Athens was one of the first known democracies. Other Greek cities set up democracies, and even though most followed an Athenian model, none were as powerful, stable, or as well-documented as that of Athens. It remains a unique and intriguing experiment in direct democracy where the people do not elect representatives to vote on their behalf but vote on legislation and executive bills in their own right. Participation was by no means open, but the in-group of participants was constituted with no reference to economic class and they participated on a scale that was truly phenomenal."
