If the whim of the majority violates the rights of the individual then you can't have it.
Plain and simple.
Chicken and egg again. The individual got the rights legally protected only because the majority provided for that protection.
It's not a case of chicken and egg. Everyone has individual rights. These are not rights anyone else is obligated to provide or must provide, but rights which are granted simply by the inaction of other people. In other words, you are born with these rights.
That's not debatable.
You declare victory and expect us to surrender. Rights have to be earned. Second, it is the obligation of someone who claims a right to convince others that this right does not threaten them, not just declare that they are paranoiac or are hating him just to feel powerful.
