"The entire premise behind democracy is the notion that the majority has the right to force its will on the minority, and that as long as people are allowed to vote on what happens, and as long as the majority gets its way, then whatever happens is 'legal,' legitimate and civilized. And that's just bullshit." - Larken Rose

My Commentary: Bully System, run by bully politicians, embraced by bully citizens, and enforced by bully agents… Seems legit!
