Regarding Iraq's Constitution, 63% turned out to vote, 78% voted in favor of
it.
That represents just 49% of the population.
49% of the adult population just bound 51%, and their children, to a form of
governance they did not choose.
And you call this *democracy*?

Similarly, in the past few US presidential elections the numbers are like
that, 49% binding the *majority* to a governance they did not choose.

Is this all just a gruesome coincidence?

The most dangerous gov't employee is not the president for Bush cannot touch
you and his silly demands are easily ignored.
The most dangerous gov't employee is the armed thug on the street, otherwise
known as a *cop*, for his demands are not so easily ignored and he can ruin
your life in a matter of seconds.

Yep. If the others cared to vote, they'd be represented. Boycotting
an election is an exercise in futility.

If everybody else was molesting children, an immoral act, would you follow
suit?

Boycotting

Voting is an overt act of forcing others to do your bidding, illegal,
immoral and flat out wrong, perpetrated by people with hollow lives,
contending themselves to effect the lives of others.

Nope.
Nor would I hire a street thug to steal your stuff and kill you.
Its wrong.
