Dumbocracy, Is Not a Virtue.

I can't take it anymore. I honestly can't. Why do we praise this insane idea? The idea that 51% of a group can be in the moral right to choose how the other 49% must live? You do understand that mob rule is not a virtue, right? So how in hell can you miss this? I am surrounded with some of the most "intelligent" people on this planet. And I am constantly amazed at how dumb and unaware the most educated and professionally experienced people, can be. No. Democracy is not a virtue. Me voting that you must spend X amount of money on a project I support, OR ELSE, is not benevolent, compassionate, or fair. Your money and time and body is to be spent on what YOU want. Just because I get the whole neighborhood to agree that you should be robbed to pay for a library or bombs in Yemen — that obviously doesn't make it right. SO WHY DO THESE ABSOLUTE FOOLS PRAISE DEMOCRACY? I am starting to think maybe I am retarded for suggesting that all valid human interactions involve consent. Do you disagree? Are you a statist loser? The earth may agree with you, but you are still wrong. Self-defense? YES. Violation of non-violent individuals because of a difference of opinion? You're lost. And hopelessly evil. -GWS
