The majority is always wrong; the minority is rarely right. (Moore Michael)
The principle of majority rule is the mildest form in which the force of numbers can be exercised. It is a pacific substitute for civil war in which the opposing armies are counted and the victory is awarded to the larger before any blood is shed. Except in the sacred tests of democracy and in the incantations of the orators, we hardly take the trouble to pretend that the rule of the majority is not at bottom a rule of force. (Moore Michael)
The moment a mere numerical superiority by either states or voters in this country proceeds to ignore the needs and desires of the minority, and for their own selfish purpose or advancement, hamper or oppress that minority, or debar them in any way from equal privileges and equal rights -- that moment will mark the failure of our constitutional system. (Moore Michael)
Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform. (Moore Michael)
“It's ike being in college and being undecided about your major. As soon as you choose your major, you focus in on it.” (Moore Michael)
A majority of this country opposes this war, a majority of this country never voted for this administration. (Moore Michael)
The majority of Americans - the ones who never elected you - are not fooled by your weapons of mass distraction. (Moore Michael)
