Rather dumb question?
So a few points to consider:
1) Eddie (and others) are using dissent as a tacit approval of violence, in so many words. This infers that "you should expect violence" if someone is angry about a decision you have made. I submit that this stance is morally bankrupt...
This implies that some person/group with power must sit idle unless some undetermined number of people are in agreement with a proposed plan.
Surely you don't mean that? If you do, what % of people should be in agreement before any reform is made?
What you just did was repeat the NTS fallacy. I know this will be difficult for you to comprehend... but that is what you just did.
The disconnect you're experiencing is in what you say and what you do are two different things. By "you" I don't necessarily mean YOU (dross), I mean the...

To borrow another phrase... discretion is the...
About as arrogant as yours is uninteresting. Create a cogent idea based on reality, not hand-waving and fear-mongering.
Go buy your Yugo, they make them for a reason... someone buys them.
I have to say I love the melodramatic approach, Joe.
"He's just doing it for the children!"
You definitely missed the point brother... there's yet another question of value. If you buy a Yugo for $2000 and it lasts a year, you just spent $5.48 per day just to own the car and ended up with...
