My Friends,

It seems that my position on the majority principle is not being understood, so let me ask a question to get feedback that perhaps will allow me to clarify my views.

Question:
What am I attempting to teach as regard to the virtue of the majority and why it is usually not wise to resist it within your group?

Why does this not contradict my teaching on following the path of highest resistance?

Let us see who can come closest to understanding what I really am attempting to teach on the subject.


"Where the law of the majority ceases to be acknowledged, there government ends, the law of the strongest takes its place, and life and property are his who can take them." --Thomas Jefferson to Annapolis Citizens, 1809. ME 16:337
