The vast majority of people in the world are good and decent individuals trying their best to survive and to take care of those around them. The role of government should be to make it easier for them to do so.

Amnesty International (nitter.vloup.ch/sebelgueta/statu…) and PEN Norway (nitter.vloup.ch/PEN_Norway/statu…), attempting to monitor these internationally consequential legal proceedings, are among those whose remote access to the #AssangeCase was granted and then revoked.

since people are by nature self-interested bastards the role of government should be to keep any one group of self-interested bastards from riding rough-shod over the rest of us self-interested bastards avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_cen…

The problem is that even if the majority is good — and I agree it is — it’s still possible to lose the democracy. Dictatorship doesn’t require a bad population; rather, it *causes* dysfunction. This is MLK’s ‘inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.’
