"Deliberation Day?"

Also from Arts & Letters Daily, is this article proposing a national Deliberation Day. The proposal,

"Registered voters would be called together in neighborhood meeting places, in small groups of 15 and larger groups of 500, to discuss the central issues raised by the campaign. Each deliberator would be paid $150 for the day’s work of citizenship. To allow the business of the world to carry on and as many as possible to participate, the holiday would be a two-day affair."

Right.  Richard Posner, writing for the same issue of Legal Affairs disagrees.

What we really need is a personal responsibility day.  Actually we need this 365 days a year.
