Majority rule is a failure when the majority is denied.

The majority have not chosen to amend the constitution to accomodate you.
Deal with it. Stop whining.

No government is LEGITIMATE if it lacks overwhelming majority support
from the people it rules. If it lacks such legitimacy, it - eventually
- will be overthrown, whether at the ballot box or by violent revolt.
All the Michael Moore elites can say doesn't change the obvious
implication that Bush really does have substantial majority support.
The 2004 election last year was a referendum on that.

Guess the Republican cuts to education have had an effect, this
guy thinks that *51%* constitutes *"overwhelming majority support".*

Gee, the majority of people in the U.S. are more concerned about not
having the city they live in wiped off the map by an al-Qaeda dirty
bomb than about ironclad respect for civil liberties.
Yes, it's obvious from this that Americans are too stupid to govern
themselves, and should instead be ruled by an elite aristocracy of
people who know better than that.
But I don't see why we had to wait for the current War on Terror to
show us this fact. After all, the majority of Americans have misgivings
about busing - which shows how ignorant they are, and how they need to
be led by the people who can afford to send their children to private
schools.
Somehow, other democracies, like Canada and those of Europe, manage to
have democracy without actually letting the stupid common people
embarass the nation by enacting their stupidity into law. Could this be
the source of the arrogant American claim that they are the world's
only real democracy?

LOL! Booo!
It's obvious that you're just parroting right-wing pro-war scare
tactics.

Brilliant commentary by a peasoup from Alberta.
Why don't you tell it to Klein??

Keegan - It is presumptuous and stupid to to
assume that I fear anything - least of all
anything from a jackass like you. I fear nothing
not even death. Been there (briefly), done that
and have the scars to show.
You, as usual, posted nothing worthy of comment so
I did not

So far -- not to worry. NONE of the world's terrorists have
shown any indication that they will evolve into MAXI-terrorists.
Penny-ante MINI-terrorists have been responsible for ALL of the
terrorism that the world has ever experienced.
Which to me is very puzzling. If they're serious enough to commit
suicide, you'd think they would have played out by now any one or
more of the four long-discussed scenarios that I described in here
over the last 3 days.
Wimpy? Gutless? Too ignorant? Who knows? But fortunately
for everyone else, that seems to be the case.
(Oh... BTW, a "dirty bomb" would be borderline between Mini
and Maxi. It wouldn't "wipe out" ANY city much larger than Red
Deer, Alberta. It would just long-term-contaminate several square
blocks of it. Dirty bombs aren't nukes, and you described the effects
of a nuke. (Which *would* constitute Maxi-Terrorism.)
(And... given the ABSENCE of Maxi-Terrorists, you can COUNT
on the fact that Americans will **never** acquiesce to curtailment
of our personal liberties.)
