"How many decisions in our day-to-day lives would we like to be made through majority rule or the democratic process? How about the decision to watch a football game or "Law and Order"? What about whether to purchase a Chevrolet Volt or a Toyota Prius? Would you like the decision of whether to have turkey or ham for Thanksgiving dinner to be made through the democratic process? Were such decisions made in the political arena, most of us would deem it tyranny.If I had the money, I would pay Morgan Freeman to read this and turn it into a commercial.
Democracy and majority rule give an aura of legitimacy and decency to acts that would otherwise be deemed tyranny."
Ron Paul states the often overlooked obvious: If you are not free to secede, you are not free.
