Quote of the day

Democracy means government by discussion, but it is only effective if you can stop people talking.
The "majority rule" is often described as a characteristic feature of democracy, but without responsible government or constitutional protections of individual liberties from democratic power it is possible for dissenting individuals to be oppressed by the "tyranny of the majority".
