And just how did you earn the right to an opinion?
People do not have a right to an opinion, but an obligation to express it if they have it... We don't want those around us all sullen and repressed... If they see something we do not see, or know something we do not know then we need to hear it because democracy does not function any other way... That is one reason for the slowness of democracy, but it makes up for the slowness with sure-ness... You would never see all the back and forth, left and right nonsense we see with our government in a democracy... They never had the time for it, and with our system, the time wasted, like the lives wasted are ours...
The rich love to have us chasing our tails whenever we are not working for them...The inefficiency they would never tolerate in business they love in government, because democracy is what they hate, and the more powerless is our government the richer they grow and the better they feel... So; express yourself... It is part of the solution to our common problems...
