Majority Report


Truth when formulated on convinience is never the complete truth. IT becomes a lie fabricated to suit a majority. And
majority always wins right? Ive never understood that. No major government has been elected by an overwhelming majority for a long time. so they win 51:49. I ask you, is it right for the other 49 %. Why do writers and many dignified personalities offer different opinions from the general consensus. Is it because thats the cool thing to do? If the majority of the people believe something, why do they think its wrong? I believe its because they stop to think and analyse. In most cases feelings rule the brain and people get carried away in what is considered mob mentality. Its like a hundered people being ruled by one mind. No wonder they act so dumb.


The majority always end up getting their way no matter what The margin doesnt matter. They dont stop there though. The view of the minority is condemned and misrepresented. A very good example of this is what the christians did to the pagan symbols. Turned their symbols into those of satan and devil worship. So i guess this is how it works. The majority ovewhelm the minority by force. Then they repress and distort theirviews and beliefs and their works and beliefs are lost to posterity. Why this concept of majority wins. Why is it always in the extreme. If its a close call then why not a compromise. 51 is greater than 49. But does 49 become so insignificant as to be considered negligent, even non existent? hat is the problem with democracy. It is not the voice of the people. Its just a voice of most of the people. I know ive been panning democracy a lot lately but there you have it. Does almost half the world deserve to suffer because the rest want to have their way. That sounds frighteningly like survival of the fittest. So i guess we can say the civilised world is more like a jungle than even teh jungle itself. More subtle and all the more treacherous for it(did i spell treacherous right? im too lazy to get a dictionary.).
