This is exciting. That's what real democracy should be. Since the constitution regulates the people, it should be written by the people. Especially "Human Rights Law", since every person is touched by it.

It seems like the methods it involves, such as twitter and facebook, will attract young generation mostly. I don't see old folks go on there and participate.

This reminds me of what I heard about Norway. When they discovered oil field, they had philosophers sitting in the committee to decide how to spend the future money to make sure the oil money will bring true happiness to Norwegians.
