I like Heinlein's notion of a bicameral legislature. ANYthing must be passed by pure 2/3 majority. The 2nd doesn't pass stuff; it's job is to function as a review or "murder" board. If even 1/3 agree that the previous POS bill is stupid, it is kicked to the curb. Then take a page from a few western states. Only meet for 4-6 weeks a year, and don't quit your day job there, Skippy. Tends to put focus on the important stuff.
