Hawk:
You shouldn't and neither should I. Do I have health insurance or do I
get
you to pay for my stupidity by going to the emergency room?
Can't you see that what you are attacking is socialism?
nurev:
You don't know what the hell you're talking about do you?
Hawk:
How, pray tell, do you get me to pay for your emergency room, unless
you elect some thugs to extort my money to pay it?
nurev:
That's not socialism you idiot. That's democracy. And that's what
I'm talking about in all these posts. I'm not talking about being a
dictator like Hitler, Mao, or Joe Steel as your moronic compatriot
claimed in a related post. I'm talking about what we citizens decide
democratically.

What you fail to grasp is this 50%+1 is the SAME as those who would
rule by THEIR whim (listed above as Hitler, Mao ...) . The ideal brought
forth above is quite true whether you admit to the Statist Ideal or deem
it 'democracy' ... you desire some Thugs (known as Government) to
FORCE others to activities which they may not desire to participate
IF at least one more than half of them deem it a 'good' idea.
Democracy gave this nation separate water fountains at one time.
Democracy has given this nation an unbearable tax burden of close to 50%.
Democracy is the form of rule which 'hangs' a man because the other 9
present 'voted' for it.
These happened in America ... because the American Government FAILED
to follow its mandate and operate like the rights protecting Republic it was
designed.

Except in the sacred texts of democracy and in the incantations of
orators, we hardly take the trouble to pretend that the rule of the
majority is not at bottom a rule of force. What other virtue can
there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one
is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a
convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political
device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it
is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of
obtaining a political decision. But it may easily become an absurd
tyranny if we regard it worshipfully, as though it were more than a
political device. We have lost all sense of its true meaning wheen
we imagine that the opinion of fifty-one per cent is in some high
fashion the true opinion of the whole hundred per cent, or indulge
in the sophistry that the rule of a majority is based upon the ultimate
equality of man. -- Walter Lippmann

frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
