Re: Democracy taken too far?

Democracy run amok ? Absolutely not, a valid question and I'm glad we get to decide such essential things for our country. And yes, of course, every law or ban of course does infringe the freedom of others. But as with anything in life it's a trade off.
Some "democracies" can go to war without the slightest consultation or support of their population, that is something I find extremely disturbing.
Simon, read my post. Nowhere do I doubt the validity of democracy in the issues you mention. I am specifically referring to issues which *may* affect the right of free enterprise to choose their product, manufacture it and sell it. I am referring to a clash of rights, or the political concept versus a principle of capitalism.
