IF HUBPAGES IS TO TRULY BE A MICRO-COSMIC REPRESENTATION OF DEMOCRACY WE LIVE IN; WITH AL ITS ATTENDANT 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS FAIRNESS.
ALLOW HUB-PAGES,MEMBERS TO NOMINATE AND VOTE FOR THEIR CHOICES FOR THESE POSITIONS.
THIS I WOULD SEEM PREFERABLE TO THEM BEING PICKED BY WHAT EVER METHOD IS CURRENTLY BEING USED.
ALL IN FAVOR SAY I.
but-- it isn't that. Who said it was? And did you mean oversight? HubPages is not a country or a government.
(And if you are comparing it to the US, we are a republic with representatives, not a democracy.)

So you may be proposing an impossibility.
Besides, majority "rule" is not always "right" nor fair.
But I respect the fact that you have the guts to pose this idea.
I could tell ya first-hand some stuff about how First Amendment rights are either upheld and/or not upheld here, but what would the results be at this time?

I want the REPUBLIC back on-track! Maybe, just maybe, honest decent-minded people will once again have a voice in their Government. Maybe, just maybe, our Representatives won't shut out their constituents in town hall meetings like the Democrats did this past summer. ...

My fear starts out with the basics: Pure Democracy is no more than mob rule. Have you ever heard of the term "mob rule" used in a positive context?Pure Democracy has no allowance for minority interests. It is the essence of "Might, (as in most numbers), makes right." Is that a...

I ask this question because I feel a sense of dilemma. I hate extremism in general and religious extremism in particular. I am not sure exactly what the policies of the Muslim Brotherhood government are, but the idea of any government associated so directly with religion worries me greatly -...
