People who discount a Border Wall as a crazy Trumpzilla policy simply don't understand what is going on around the world.
Interactive map below at the linkSince the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, dozens of countries have gone on a massive barrier-building campaign, with the number of border walls soaring from 15 then to about 70 now. Many countries have decided to build walls in the wake of the Arab Spring and the Syrian refugee crisis, while others are trying to counter terrorists

One of my favorite self-quotes is "Liberty's biggest threat is democracy."Ph64 wrote:So you are all for the tyranny of the majority then?Martin Hash wrote: Everyone has a price, sweltering heat would be unanimous at the right price, and even if only 51% were bribed, that's still a majority. Even without bribes, if 51% thought it was too cold, the other 49% would still be unhappy.
They're under the Constitution/Bill of Rights? You didn't mention that. What if the 49% is heavily armed? Do the 51% get to invalidate the 2nd Amendment and take their guns? Does 51% invalidate their pursuit of happiness (cooler temps)?
Maybe they should just split the auditorium in half then, high temp 51% on one side, cooler temp 49% on the other. Of course that would require a vote... and if the 51% vote against it... revolution?

Tyranny of the majority is slightly better than a tyranny of the minority since any given person gets marginally better odds at being the tyrant.

Haven't you heard the new term? AP has started to refer to illegals as "undocumented citizens". Words matter.

You just locked the doors to an auditorium full of angry, sweating people. And destroyed their food supply.Martin Hash wrote:It's been a long time, so I'll restate my position.

This is why we can't have nice things.

They've been undocumented workers since the sixties. It sounds better than getting busted with illegal employees. Like a traffic citation. I suppose they are just undocumented voters now.Hastur wrote:Haven't you heard the new term? AP has started to refer to illegals as "undocumented citizens". Words matter.

Interesting.Martin Hash wrote:Democracy is the selection method most suited to liberty because I make my own decisions and my vote is relatively worth the same as yours. Citizenship & practicing liberty aren't the same thing. A bunch of people in an auditorium deciding on whether to turn the heat up or down doesn't depend on the citizenship of the people in the auditorium, just that they are the ones affected by it.
p.s. If your argument is that people outside the auditorium are voting then okay but once someone is inside the auditorium, they're just as important as anyone else.
Would you run your company that way?
Instead of shareholders voting on decisions, everyone in the company gets an equal vote?
Some dude holds 30% of the shares, but the opinion of two part time janitors carry twice the weight?
