If that's what the majority wants, then what's wrong with it?
The fact that "the majority" has no influence on what's right; and that our constitutional principles are founded on limiting the tyranny of the majority. That is a big reason why the United States is a republic, not a democracy. Dave Hall wrote: Bull ****. Nope. It's the truth. Ask anybody who got an A in high school history and/or civics. ... Our republic is set up exactly so that the will of the majority of the people can prevent the tyranny of ONE (or a few) dictator (a minority). That's also true. So why is it that you support the idea that a minority of one can imprison or kill any citizen (or take away any lesser Constitutional rights) on a whim? I'm not the one who's ignorant. Uh huh... and Nixon kept repeating "I am not a crook!" DSK |
