RE: Some people REALLY miss the point

The thing is, people like alfsborg fall into a language trap. Whenever they start to talk about the nature of "republic" they instantly mean "screw everyone but me" (it is a code word just like "Concerned" means "I don't like black people").

Discussion of the tyranny of the majority is older than our nation, but the idea that just because a majority of people want something that it is just is simply a non-started. Might does not make right, and neigther does numerical superiority.
