We must all come to understand that as long as anyone depends on their minoritystatus to determine their rights then the majority will only recognize a degree ofrights based solely upon a specified set of what the majority considers allowableand therefore, contingent freedoms. In other words, the majority will alwaysrestrict the rights of the minority unless the minority can base their rights uponsomething other than the specific attributes and or definitions of that minority.The government is not inclined to, nor does it obligate itself to ensure theRights of any person in this country although it was created to protect the Rightsof every individual. It is up to the individual to combatively insist andaggressively pursue his or her Rights before the government. It is People, firstand foremost, that form the State Republics and it is the People who actvoluntarily to form these cooperative alliances to be governed by consent alone.Without such voluntary consent we no longer have a Republic, nor a legitimategovernment to whom we are obligated to obey or, I might add, place our loyalty.America is not the government nor is the government America. The American Republicis the act of voluntary union under the social contract called the Constitution,without the power and enforcement of that social contract there is no Union ofStates.It has been said that the majority opinion is the true ruler; if that is the casethen perhaps it is time for us all to become the majority and not base our Rightsupon a specific status as a minority. This does not preclude any attributes that aperson has who is a member of a minority or their identity, but in the eyes of themajority and therefore the law, a minority is only a minority and will remain assuch as long as they base their Rights solely upon their minority status.The problem with every democracy is that the majority always rule to the exclusionof the minority. The reason the Founders purposed a Republic instead of ademocracy was to blunt the force and power of the majority through layers ofchecks and balances to equal out the playing field. The more democratic apolitical system becomes the more the majority "lords over" the minority. It isstrange that people are all for democracy until it actually rules against them andin a democracy, since the majority always rules, the minority will always sufferunder the prejudices of the majority. There is a defined tyranny within ademocracy and yet so many clamor for such a system because they feel that it willprovide them with more voice while just the opposite is true. In every democracythe government system appeals to the material interests of the majority's largevoting block, in turn the government will then merely placate the minority with adegree of rights and yet never "grant" them the same degree of rights as themajority.The established elite ruling class, the governing "gentry" fears nothing more thana unified People. As long as sectionalism can be promoted and therefore pseudo-legalized, then this nation will remain divided and that is exactly what the"State" desires: a house divided. Until We take the stance that the only statusthat is legally meaningful and powerful is that of the Citizen, then We willremain a conquered People subject to the will of majoritarianism and theirpreferred democratic tyranny. The majorities will always, whether by vote,referendum or even by a form of legal or judicial enforcement, secure theirperceived rights over the rights of a defined minority. Majoritarian democracydesires the artificial designation of minorities, it keeps the "majority" holdingthe reigns of power while providing the minority with a degree of satisfactionbased upon their struggle to gain or retain a certain allowance of rights, butsuch a system will never provide equality because it inherently promotes andmaintains social, racial, religious, ethnic or sexual divisions among the People.The "State" readily supports the idea that a particular class or group requires or
