Majority opinion on the critical issue is exactly what you are getting here with the climate change fiasco. Most people believe what they’ve been told and think this is the price they have to pay to “safeguard their children’s futures.” That’s where it goes wrong – the majority having the right to force the minority means the few who go against the prevailing tide are to be silenced. History shows that it’s frequently the individual who goes off in a new direction who is responsible for discovering or inventing major improvements on which we all come to rely.

Hopefully people will be willing to say “Enough.” But will they reject the thing that is causing all the problems? When they reject the idea that government should be allowed to initiate force on its citizens, then they will make progress.
