<<It was democracy that created a travesty of justice and an immoral event. Such an ugly human sacrifice could not have occurred in a culture of law and human rights and freedoms. Ayn preferred the modern version of existence where greatness does not need to be sacrificed for majority rule. What do you prefer? Do you enjoy our legal system or would you rather Brummar and EEeek decide whether you live or die for being rational?? >> You are misunderstanding socrates.
