is democracy online a possibility of the future?

Imagine sitting on your breakfast table in the morning and - besides reading email, your favorite blogs and some news - you are voting for legalization of music sharing, against the war on terrorism or that your country signs the Kyoto protocol. This is something that appears in so many sci-fi books and something people say the internet is "made for". I am not quite sure if in our current society a system like this would work, with the 1 trillion couch potatos getting mindnumb in front of their ultra super widescreen tvs. A website takes the route for US citizens get their voice heard. Lets see if this picks up momentum. Right now they need money for Washington lobbyists. Ah payed democracy is such a good thing :/
