Perfect Political Representatives

Perfect political representatives ask their constituents what they need and want him or her to do ‘for them’ in the legislative body, list those things in order of popularity, and post those requests on their website. Before voting on a bill or proposing one to the legislative body, they ask their constituents to vote on them, post the total tabulated votes, and based on those figures vote for or against a bill or present or do not present a new bill to the legislature. Excluding anything strategic, they also webcast live what they say and do as candidates and as elected political representatives.
Perfect political representatives only exist in novels.

thought typing

Typing one's thoughts as one thinks them. When thought typing, the writer sends his thoughts from his soul and brain via his nerves to his fingertips which merge with the keyboard's keys which are connected to the computer and display the words he thinks and types on the screen.
'Thought typing’ transcribes one's thoughts to a computer screen. 'Thought writing' transcribes one's thoughts onto a piece of paper.

'Thought writing' and 'thought typing' are not the same as writing. Writing asks the brain to articulate a thought or emotion one feels and writes down the clause or sentences the brain has articulated.

deceptive tonality

Some people use a deceptive tonality to reinforce a lie they are telling. For example, they will answer, “No,” but in a tonality that says it would be unthinkable for that person to have said or done what they are saying they did not say or do, and they may even intimidate the listener so he will feel stupid if he ever doubted or dared to question their statement.
