yeah - what strawman said. And I could add the old 'two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner' line, but there is another aspect of stew's post that I wanted to comment on. If a person believes something is right, or moral, or whatever, because it was voted on - then how does such a person decide what to vote on in the election? I mean, if their moral position can only be determined after the election, what do they believe in before the election? This is the demon of what Hayek called 'unlimited democracy' where people start to think that a decision is correct because it is democratic. Don't get me wrong, I think democracy is better than the alternatives - but that is no reason to overstate its virtues.
