A "law to english" translator to let citizens grok gov't.
Government creates and is itself governed by a syntax called "law". Only specially trained "lawyers" are able to grok this language. Citizens, to be effective, must understand their government and must thus grok law. A simple law to english translator would do a lot to facilitate citizens' education.

Yes, this is exactly what we've been needing to make government accessible to everyone. Our government should be required to have clear understandable versions of all laws. Although I would consider Re-writing this post to not use the word grok as that also is an inaccessible reference that will keep many people from voting on this issue.
