re: #521 Cato the Elder

Yes, the will of the people - a dangerous thing. It should all be decided in Brussels and Riyadh.

The will of the poeple is only conditionally valid:

“All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.”
