Majority of the People

July 9, 2006 Email from Darren - a friend

The majority of men and women are ignorant, full of prejudice, and greed. A few are power hungry. Mix them up and you have government.

No law empowering the government would have passed without the majority being foolish. It is through greed and stupidity that men have given government the power to take away their liberty, albeit only gradually in the so called developed countries.

Change the term government by "the majority of the people" and you get the picture.

Don't Invite the Devil

If you really want to cure a pressing social problem, take steps outside the realm of government. If you don't see how you can convince people to help you succeed in a non-governmental endeavor, how can you expect to control politicians who care nothing for your desires?

And if you really want to make a noticeable difference, if you really want to improve life, do something for yourself or your family today. That's where you have real control, that's where you don't need to rely on politicians — or anyone else — and you can make sure the results are as you intend.

Government doesn't work.
