"In the ideal, the experts would inform rather than dictate and we would be capable of using that information to make our best individual choices." – nostr:nprofile1qqsywnwsaj4jk7amaq90su86s4uzvmhjgyk53pgzjlw5wg7unh543ecpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skctcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0av6pvy 

If you feel like we still need agencies such as the EPA, or the FDA, or the Department of Education, etc. then why not make them simply organizations that *recommend* things, not that have power to impose regulations and restrictions? If they come up with what they think is best, then let them use the power of persuasion, not compulsion, and let people decide what they think is best. Wouldn't that be *real* democracy?

And they wouldn't need to be funded by tax dollars, either.
