and the reason is that I do that is because if we base innocence or guilt on a popularity contest which means democracy which means mob rule. The examples I use for democracy are lynchings and gang rapes which is a pretty good analogy.
Many moons ago I wrote a letter to a city hall that tried to prevent a bunch of skinhead types from holding a rally. I mentioned doing this and got a lot of crap over it. My defense was a simple "You let them take away their rights then what's to stop them from taking away yours?"
Nobody bothers to think about that side of the coin.
