i have been thinking a lot lately of the the state of our society. is the American culture so deluded that it thinks that it is morally superior to others? so much so that we are justified in poor behavior?
the democratic process is meant to let the will of the majority rule. we as voters and members of a Democratic society take part in choosing where our country will go and what the country as a whole will do... but what about those that didn't get their way? those that weren't with the majority? when they have an opinion that is not shared by the majority how should they act? well... in an actual democracy, you would accept the will of the majority and endeavor to persuade them to see your side and your opinion for the next vote. but what has happened in this last election (at least here in California)? they didn't like what everyone else had to say. so they threw a tantrum like a 3 year old that wants candy in the supermarket. they picketed and harassed, and bullied. and chose a group of people that are even more of a minority than they are, to pick on. how does one wrong (perceived or real) justify another?!?
It doesn't. but what do you think?
