    As they say, the best argument against democracy is a 5 minute chat with an average voter. That average voter in this case being Janet.

      That seems like more an argument for why we need significantly better public education, not for why the tyranny of the minority is better than the tyranny of the majority

        You unfortunately can’t get everyone no matter how good the education system is. Especially if you live in a state like Indiana where it’s trendy to give money to private and charter schools instead of public school.

          That’s why I’m talking about Public schools that are available to everyone. Not just High School either, College should also be public and free. I would even support paying students to attend college, like in some European countries. I agree that Private Schools are terrible for many reasons, they take money away from public schools, and they are commonly used to segregate communities.

          Critical thinking, and to follow the evidence, not the idiot that shouts the loudest.

          stop. pull it back, because youre being silly. the education of a pop star is not an issue. you’re responding stupidly to stupid questions. education should be available to everyone.

          unfortunately, some think you shouldn’t learn about welding in college if you want to study advanced english literature.

          it’s just an example.

          i just went back and watched the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAwaNWGLM0c, and the cinematography and style and dance, that slays.

          the music is like your mother’s second cousin bought a $200 software for his Mac Plus. the lyrics were probably written by committee. but the visuals still hold up.
