Another example of the arrogance of the Elitists. How dare the unwashed masses believe that they could possibly think for themselves? They are merely backward children, and we must think for them.

This is another example that shows that a great deal of reining in is needed...and the truth of that line from the movie, the Patriot, where the lead character says something to the effect of "an elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a King".
