Well said, delphi125; this is the model towards which we should work - constant involvement on the local level. The effective large structure forms in a networked fashion, mycellium-like.
Communication is the key, and as long as corporate interests how sway over the media, the process of true participatory democracy will be slow to progress.
Education at the earliest stages is the initial way to go - the Internet is the tool for that education (freedom of choice, data, structure, syntax, etc.), as are things that youngsters enjoy (game programmers, are you listening?).
This is a generational question which must be addressed if democracy is to evolve.
