>An empty slogan, just as meaningless as the word "people" is in the name "People's Republic of China."

Then what's the point of democracy?

>The Social Contract assumes that there are two parties - the people and the government - and an agreement between the two. The government can represent the people, but it can never replace the people. Governments that pretend to do so end up becoming Marxist states.

Really? Since when?

>I'd rather not see poor people have more kids that they cannot afford, but it is not my decision to make.

But it's not the kids' fault. If societal changes can make it so fewer kids have to suffer, it's better for the kids, and it's better for the society.

>I'd rather see more people use contraceptives or abstain from sex until marriage, but it is not my decision to make.

Once again, not the kids' fault.

>Basically, it's all about placing trust in the individual.

United we stand, divided we fall...
