True, but I don't see it as any reason that people have to just roll over and take it up the tailpipe. Majority rule isn't always a good thing. Refusing to conform to popular opinion is not a character flaw. Sometimes, popular opinion is stupid and dangerous.

But then, I've been pretty open about that in the past. I have my reservations about full democracy. I don't trust "people in general" - I think they're stupid, ignorant and easily lead. That goes for voters of all parties by the way I'm not making assumptions about any one group... it's just people. "Average Intelligence" = "Quite Stupid".
