"When one sheep moves, the rest will follow, even if it is not a good idea. The flocking and following instinct of sheep is so strong that it caused the death of 400 sheep in 2006 in eastern Turkey. The sheep plunged to their death after one of the sheep tried to cross a 15-meter deep ravine, and the rest of the flock followed."The paragraph above is to point out the dangers of beehive or mob like mentality, in order to outline the possible dangers of Democracy.
Democracy in itself, is not a bad thing if it is to represent the will of the majority in benefits to the whole. But it often is not for the benefit of the whole when misguided. It could actually prevent and endanger the principle of Liberty in a free society.
Beware of the utopia of Democracy.
I personally love what the Anonymous movement stands for, they mean well.
