One things for sure, the "majority" ain't always "right".

    Nixon's "mortal majority" was just the lead-in to the whoppers Reagen/Bush(x2)/Cheaney and their ilk pulled on their nation and the world.

    As usual Hanson's seething bigotry shines through. No wonder I detest socialists...they are a cancer on freedom.

    RIGHT(S): A “right”; is an eternally actionable warrant that, intrinsically facilitates a most base particle’s just mechanics and/or performance. Right(s) is an inherent, inviolate, just and omnipresent component / factor / attribute, composing matter’s structure of expression - bonding / sealing the “be” to the “be” and to the “do” (law existing as the ultimate and final definition: “do”). Right(s) is/are an intricate constituent in/at matter’s ability to self express (without right(s), matter of any size or configuration could not express itself). “You have Rights antecedent to all earthly governments: Rights, that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; Rights, derived from the Great Legislator of the universe.” (John Adams) Rights, exuding from a material source -from the inside out - are first recognized as unalienable / inalienable (“⋯ which cannot be lawfully transferred from one person to another.” (Bouvier’s Law Dictionary)). Unseen rights, as are interacted with from the outside-in are distinguished as a principle(s). “Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity.” (Mother Teresa) In ANY scenario that entails a third party, the action is outside a domain of "right". There is NO! majority right, State's right(s), right to vote, etc.

    The marginalized enlightened independent mind has much semblance of the answers and solutions that plague our species. But to realize the effectiveness of these solutions it will be necessary to arrive at a majority consensus acknowledgement and agreement with the enlightened one.  It is necessary for the majority, possibly all, to be correct. The majority or possibly all actually being correct in a positive manner, is the principle for which we should be striving for the attainment of a universal dimensional freedom advancement.  At one evolutionary juncture, it is possible to please all the people in one defining moment.
