Will Wonders Never Cease?
Whoa! I opened my Ayn Rand Institute email update and surprise, surprise! Logic and sense were proclaimed and expounded! To wit:
"The essence of democracy is unlimited majority rule. It is the notion that the government should not be constrained, as long as its behavior is sanctioned by majority vote. It is the notion that the function of government is to implement the "will of the people." It is the notion we are espousing when we tell the Iraqis, the Palestinians and the Afghanis that the legitimacy of their new governments rests essentially on their being democratically approved."
Yowsah! Can't argue with that! It's a wonderful change from the usual "[fill in the blank] must be bombed immediately!" sort of foreign policy screed we usually get from ARI op-eds.
