The essence of all decocracy is its ability to olerate the absurd. If democracy demands that differing voices, no matter how objectionable, be removed, Then we have lost the right to call it democracy and must define it by another name.
It is that call to expunge the offensive that often makes the views expressed here seem narrow and parochial. Be careful what ou wish for at the mudcat. To disallow disagreement is a an odious trait.
PS I expect this post to disappear.
