    I'm sure that this is nothing new. And isn't likely to change. I think the blame lies with the people of any so-called democracy that allows the will of the majority to be compromised by pressure applied by the minority, or vice versa. Whoever the minority/majority might be. It's always been a mystery to me why people can't just work toward a common goal to benefit all the people.

    • Which common goal? Maximise the opportunity for your kin or for all mankind at their expense? Secular society or Theocracy?

    • even though this statement is non supportive, a portion you may want to consider is a quote from Larry Flint:

      Is is democracy if you allow 5 wolves and one lamb to vote on what is for dinner?
