Yes and No. Yes. That's why we are a representational democracy. Everyone gets their chance to voice an opinion. No. Sometimes appeasement leads to peace and prosperity, other times it leads to WWII. As they say, "can't please 'em all". If you're so pissed off that you're ready to leave the social contract, be our guest. Although you will probably have a tough time finding a nation more in line with your ideals unless you're willing to move to Somalia. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
