3. Thanks for that link!

Since there is a precedence then who knows, it could become a reality, especially since it was considered the 'principle characteristic of a democracy'.

Here's a part of the text from the link you sent:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition

"In politics, sortition (also known as allotment or the drawing of lots) is the selection of decision makers by lottery. The decision-makers are chosen as a random sample from a larger pool of candidates.

In ancient Athenian democracy, sortition was the primary method for appointing officials, and its use was widely regarded as a principal characteristic of democracy. It is commonly used today to select prospective jurors in common law-based legal systems."
