DANGERS OF A DEMOCRACY, CHAPTER 32045
I received quite a few e-mail messages on this one. That?s great! It means that the message is getting through and that there are more and more people out there who ?get it.?

Evidently NBC was television some program that featured a cop --- late Friday evening. There was a scene where the cop was interrogating a woman who ran a home into which she took at-risk and troubled youths. At one point the woman said something to the effect that ?you can?t do that, this is a free country.? The cop repled, ?No, it?s a democracy, and the majority doesn?t like what?s going on here.?

So ? just keep that thought with you, especially those of you out there who still, for some odd reason, buy this BS you learned in school about America being a democracy. Just keep that little statement from that NBC television show in your mind:

It?s a democracy, and the majority doesn?t like what?s going on here.?

If that doesn?t send a few shivers up and down your spine, you have none.

Yes, now I know why they have an upper IQ cap for the police academy. Any-one with an IQ higher than that of a dog would never be so pavlovian.

P.S

For those of you who are truly stupid, and are scratching you're head wondering, "gee, ain't we supposed to be a democracy?" the answer is HELL NO. We are a constitutional REPUBLIC. Democracy is simply tyranny of the majority. A lynch mob is democracy in action, so is looting.

 

[Thanatopsis]

Not only that, we are a democratic republic. But still, this is not a "free country," as some would like to believe.

 

[Clinotus]

Oo, I get to rant:


I think it is pretty sad that the majority of people feel that our system of governement is a democracy, when it is actually the Constitutional Republic, but I digress although the majority is always wrong, I would like to keep the comfort of the false knowledge that my fellow citizens realize what we posess to govern ourselves as a people.
The police officers statement was a paradox: It?s a democracy, and the majority doesn?t like what?s going on here.? This statement is absolutely correct, yet in a republic, law making powers are not exercised directly by the people but by representatives elected by the people, and the actions of those representatives are accountable to those representatives through re-election which is the peoples voice saying nay to which has been suggested, implemented and perhaps not so strongly imposed on them. The sad thing in this case is the filibusters which allow hidden laws to pass unwares to the populance whom elected the vote caster of the law/provision.

Anyhow, a direct democracy which cannot be contested as the ultimate tyranny of the masses seems to be the perfect solution for situations and our opinions, it actually allows 51% of the people to deprive the other 49% of their rights by a majority vote. So while the cops statement was true, it need not be false because of the 49%'s ability to go and sponsor vote casting/buying to change the majorum of public opinion, for advertising is the true curriculum of our society, the vote of the majority would always go towards the side with the most money. Minority interests will always be crushed in a popular referendum government . The fact of the matter is that the majority isn?t always right.

As Alexander Hamilton said,

"It had been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny."

 

[LIBERTYorDEATH]

so very true. For those who want a primer on the evils of pure democracy and the need for a republic form of government, I would suggest federalist paper 51. I am working on a federalist paper's searchable database , in my spare time. Maybe it will be done in the next few weeks, I will post the url.

<sigh>
Don't you just wish we could start our society over sometime? If you could take a good chunk of people, maybe a couple 100, out someplace where they weren't influenced by anyone else, and start over. I think we would end up without any real government but rather the people working together.

 

[LIBERTYorDEATH]

No, someone would always try to impose their will upon others for&quot;the good of the group&quot;. However, we could quickly kill that person and get back to living our individual lives in peace and solitude.

Oh yes, orwell was an Optimist!



The Presumed Consent Debate

Now they want mandatory organ donation. It is geeting to the point I will have to drink poison on my deathbed to spite the government now. At least they won't get any useful organs that way.

 

[Stark]

Do you know any facts about this? Show title? Was it a &quot;news magazine&quot; like dateline, or were you watching &quot;law and order&quot; repeats?
Was this some sherrif from po-dunk arkansas, or the police chief of a major city?

What would send shivers down my spine is if people took heresay and poorly documented sources like yours seriously. :Q

 

[LIBERTYorDEATH]

It was film crew video of a policeman on call, ala cops. Let us hope charlotte is on her way to that cops house as we speak, her web in tow. Tommorrow there can be banner headlines as his neighbors awake to see &quot;Some pig!&quot; written in silk across the doorway.
