It's a well-known flaw in democracy that it can lead to tyranny of the majority.
This is a fundamental pitfall that Madison argued cannot be ignored.
That old, 51 wolves and 49 sheep voting on what's for dinner... or how to apportion tax dollars.
The sheep are not going to fare well in either case.
Do you agree that if we believe in freedom for all of our citizens, then we have to take measures not fall into this trap?
If no, sup with that?
If yes... can you think of any way to do this that you wouldn't find "racist?"
