Arrest for Dancing in Jefferson's Memorial

Not that most visitors would ever even hear of it.

It's the principle of the matter, Kraco.

Logic dictates the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

That works mathematically, but taking a universal truth to achieve one's own ends at the cost of others is illogical and irrational for the health of a society.

Agreed that it is less evil on the evil government spectrum. That doesn't mean that democracy is the be all end all, though. There are better solutions. Instead of accepting the status quo, wouldn't it be nice to try to make things better? "It doesn't matter so much where we are as where we are going..."
