Politix
I'm in much better spirits today. Thank you to all who responded to offer their encouragement over the weekend.
I'm in kinda a politically smarmy mood right now, but since I realize that 'sound bites' get read more frequently than lengthy diatribes, I will offer up the following.
Wasn't the U.S. Constitution constructed as a limitation on the government, not on private individuals? To my knowledge, it was not meant to prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government...it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government.
Is not unlimited majority rule just another instance of the principle of tyranny?
