“The will of the majority is anything you agree with while the tyranny of the majority is anything you do not. A bit selective, IMHO.”
The will of the majority is restrained by laws that protect the interests of the minority, as we have in a Constitutional Republic. Those laws protect the minority who may very well be at risk by that majority will.
Your apparent support for a pure democracy would leave 49% of the people at the mercy of 51%. Hardly a comforting thought.
And in this case if 51% of the people say the statue should go then I think it should go. If 49% say it should go then I think it should stay. Can't get much simple than that. This isn't some burning Constitutional issue here, it's a statue from a cause lost 140 years ago.
While plausible in some instances, when applied in these, we'd have no roads, bridges, monuments, airports, etc.
Zane has published only a few snips from responses "in favor" of his lunacy, while he's been deeply scarified by scores of North Carolinians in favor of the Monument. Yet he claims there's a disproportionate amount of response published counter to his proposition and those similarly minded as he need their voices heard. Okay.
LMAO - that's what happens when you, as an outsider, pick the WRONG side of a NONISSUE, publish it before an opposite minded majority, and try to over-inflate it with pure BS.
Zane misunderestimated North Carolinians. BADLY.
