If you don't think this stuff with Max is just fucked up, then you don't know your ass from the hole I'll join my father in.

Mob rule morality was dismissed in the 1780's, when the original states demanded a Bill of Rights.

+1 The BILL of Rights is the rights that the people give to the government, not the other way around. Any rights not specifically enumerated to the federal govt. explicitly in the constitution are reserved for the stes. Hence we live in an a REPRESENTITIVE REBULIC, not a DEMOCRACY. A true democracy is detrimental to the minority, a republic protects the rights of the monority while still holding to the overall concept 'majority rule." Thats why sometimes someone who doesnt get as many votes as the other guy wins. And that doesnt mean the election was stolen. It actually means, believe it or not, the system works. I know this is a political concept that is probably way to deep for alot of people here, thats why it so frustrating for people like myself to participate on these boards. FUNDAMENTAL misunderstandings of our political process are everywhere here, and when you point that out, people get defensive and lash out with names etc.etc. LIBRARIES REALLY ARE GREAT PLACES. Ever been to one?
Civics 101, something seriously lacking here, in my opinion.
