SapereAude Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) http://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2011/02/23/democracy_versus_liberty/page/2 "To highlight the offensiveness to liberty that democracy and majority rule is, just ask yourself how many decisions in your life would you like to be made democratically. How about what car you drive, where you live, whom you marry, whether you have turkey or ham for Thanksgiving dinner? If those decisions were made through a democratic process, the average person would see it as tyranny and not personal liberty. Is it no less tyranny for the democratic process to determine whether you purchase health insurance or set aside money for retirement?"
