A "just for a smile" amid the Wal-Mart discussion, from "The Boondocks" comic strip several weeks ago:                 "It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brushfires in people's minds."   This would apply to almost any controversy.  It's akin to "the country (state, city, etc) is run by those who show up."   ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Double To: Online Democracy Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 8:07 PM Subject: FW: [Winona] Wal-Mart And then will we allow minorities to ban local owned Fur Stores,  book stores (not books) and hot dog stands (bad for your health)?   Paul Double   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2003 7:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Winona] Wal-Mart   In a message dated 7/12/03 7:42:10 AM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Should then the rights of what will be the choice of the majority of area shoppers be curtailed by a few who become more vocal by potentially denying the majority the option In this case, yes!
