[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Actually, Vogon, these people (who are in the majority in their area) DIDN'T choose their government. They voted for the OTHER side, the folks who WON'T destroy a region's livelihood to protect a few dozen fish. Unfortunately, the majority in a larger area determined the policies that were to be put in place, policies defined by people who lived, generally, thousands of miles away from the situation (which is one reason that folks like them and us prefer LOCAL decision-making, whenever possible, to Federal), and who obviously hadn't watched last night's "South Park." (Earth Day Brainwashing Festival! Yay!) Although this country IS a Democracy, which translates into 'rule by the majority,' the Founders well knew that the majority is occasionally wrong, and that the farther away from the situation the decision-making process took place, the less likely it was to arrive at the right decision. Jefferson spoke of the "Tyranny of the Majority," and he was entirely correct. [/QB][/QUOTE]
