The Voice of the People

The voice of the people must never be silenced in a country that is not a dictatorship. The people choose their governments. They are not being ruled by some dictatorial fist of iron. There should be no reason why the citizens of a nation should have no right to voice their opinions on politics, regardless whether they have government sanction to do so. After all, everyone should be free to critique the leaders they chose to represent them in managing the country. The day people give in to the whims of their leaders on such issues is the day when others will know just how much of their control they have surrendered to their "leaders". At a word, people do silly things. All it takes for dumb people to succeed, is for the smart people to do nothing about it.
