Democracy: A Political System Wherein the Majority Votes Away the Rights of Minority Groups

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “TRUTHgasm,” and originally posted it to the wall of family, along with commentary…

"Gun control: Because as long as we get to vote, what could possibly go wrong?"

“Gun control: Because as long as we get to vote, what could possibly go wrong?”

My Commentary: “No, no. I don’t think you understand… We voted on it, and the majority approved. That makes it legit. Minority groups, you say? Ha! They have no rights, here.”

Right is Right and Wrong is Wrong, No Matter How Many Share In It!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “I AM AN Individual,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." - Leo Tolstoy

“Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.” – Leo Tolstoy

My Commentary: Truth! And, similarly: right is right, even if no one’s doing!

The fallacy of the Bandwagon argument is that it shifts focus from REASON to SENTIMENT! It is the ill logic of cowardice!

Discussing a Quote from Ayn Rand

The following commentary took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “The Individual is the Smallest Minority on Earth“…

Rayn: While I am not exactly a fan of Rand’s work, I’ve been in love with this quote for a while!

“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.” – Ayn Rand

“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.” – Ayn Rand

Sara: I always think of you when I see the name Ayn Rand, it’s like your name in Pig Latin. By the way, I like the quote 🙂

Rayn: LOL. She does have a strange name, doesn’t she?
