i think that, atleast now we are discusssing america, people have forgot what democracy actually means (and i know it can be debated that it is actually so in practice) but it is not the goverment vs the people, the people are the government. so it is supposed to be so that the people subject theirself to their own laws and therefor they are free. to say otherwise is to say that telling yourself not to eat a cooky every day is a law which infringes on your personal freedom. and if in the government a law would be made that people wouldnt agree with (such as by extreme: shoot every first person you see on sunday) they have the right, the obligation, to rise up and make such tyranny undone.
