Just saw this and it reminded me of what we both said about the majority'


"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather
an
irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in
people’s
minds." --Samuel Adams
 
I was thinking of the one that you hear from time to time and that fits right in with what you and Ray were saying in his posts...

"Governments are run by those that show up"...with of course the "show up" equating to "voting".....

I know that here in Washington when they were doing the run up to the NO DOGS FOR BEARS AND LIONS bill that there were "lots" of dog people who publically stated that they weren't going to bother to vote because the "f'ing bunny huggers had already won"....well geeeeeee...talk about your self fulfilling prophecies....

Plato.
 
"Yes there are two paths you can by...but in the long run, there's still time to change the road yer on (I hope so)"

Stairway To Heaven, Robert Plant

"If the electorate consists primarily of moral degenerates, shouldn't they have the right to elect one of thier ilk to represent them?"

This quote was attributed to a somewhat famous (locally) rural alaskan legislator during a legislative inquiry (ca 1990) as to why he was drunkenly pounding on the hotel door of his female intern at 3am during a legislative session.

Its a little hard to argue with knowing the general character of his particular constituency. He also was a member of the minority.
