In the "2 wolves and a lamb deciding what's for dinner" sense...

  Democracy will always be the tyranny of the majority.

  Actually this seems to be a case of the well armed lamb contesting the vote. Or rather the lambs friends private army.

  If the Lamb in this scenario is a litigious bully who stretches the law to breaking point and abuses privileges that aren't available to you or I, then yes.

    No, we're the lambs. One of the wolves is a giant multinational company, the other owns tanks and can control Internet peering. On behalf of the rest of you lambs, I'd like to thank people who commit crimes to make points about freedom online for picking this fight. I'm sure we'll do just fine in it.

      I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Are you suggesting one should put up with some injustice in the face of the threat of more of it?
      • tptacek 16y ago
        No. You're right. What you should definitely try to do is use coercion against people who can outspend you $1,000,000,000 to $1, or against people who employ hundreds of people authorized to discharge firearms.

          I know you're being sarcastic, but actually you are completely correct.
