Yeah. My it'll-never-happen dream is that Congress adopts the rule that no member can vote for a bill that they haven't personally read in its entirety. My second it'll-never-happen dream is that the president starts vetoing every bill longer than, say, 100 pages (except perhaps budgets) simply because they are too long.
Oddly enough, computers are enabling this. You couldn't get bills thousands of pages long with typewriters, because they get that long with a series of changes. It just wasn't physically possible to re-type it time after time, and then run it through Xerox machines to produce copies for everyone who needed them.
