I Don’t Believe in Democracy

...as a political end game. A democracy simply allows for the tyranny of the majority, rather than the whims of a single man. In the democracy of the United States, this leaves us with a fairly free nation. In the democracy of Palestine, this leaves us with Hamas. Even our democracies must be checked by a limited-government constitution. One that does not allow for the many to vote themselves money from the few. One that does not allow for the many to strip the rights of the few. One that does not allow for the many to make decisions for the few. It is up to us to not allow our constitution to "evolve" to meet the needs of the present. That's what love is for.
