Is this your position?"

Yes, no and maybe.

Yes: There have been many times in history where great wrongs were applied by the majority of the people. (Slavery, the Holocaust, Manifest Destiny) And in these cases, the majority WERE wrong.

I would add any time that the majority wish to create laws which stifle free will, and the application thereof.

No: The majority rules. I have to believe that people are inherently good, and that when there is a majority opinion, it will likewise be good.

Maybe: The majority must not forget that they are individuals, first. And that whatever rule they make MUST free the individual, not limit them.

There is no easy answer to this problem.

There sure as heck is, just give peeps a closed-road test on a twisty, wet mountain road with occasional obsticals simulating stalled cars or idiot pedestrians, and whatever top speed they can achieve without crashing is what the can be certified to drive.
Jeeze Louise!
