Yes, this thread makes me realize one thing even sharper than ever. It's a
brave new world. It's not Constitutional republic, but Democracy
everywhere. You know the difference between them, right? In Constitutional
republic unconstitutional thing can not be done even if 99% want to. In
Democracy 51% can decide that killing the rest 49% of people is good way
to fight overpopulation. In Democracy it is legal. Even though in good
people's book it is bad and is called genocide. The worst trouble is that
these democratic decisions are made by voters majority of whom...
(brainwashed,...) hm..., not as bright as all of you guys are.

But yielding your civil rights to government is the worst thing one can do
or request from another. Remember that the government is in general much
nastier than individuals are. The largest number of humans in the whole
history was killed by the governments, not by individuals. So, everybody,
please, do use your brain!
