Agreed.... majority opinion usually results in minority rights being trampled into the ground.

"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect" Mark Twain Thoughts? That's one of my favorite Twain quotes. I'm almost always in the minority opinion in any group I happen to be in at the moment.

And so it goes with every swing of popular thought. When being antiestablishment becomes bureaucratic...you become the establishment

Observation About Life #14: It does not take courage to be in the majority. [From my book SOULHAVEN, which is yet to be published.]

So you would rather be wrong and not in the majority for the sake of calling yourself courageous........

I've always been one that pretty much went to the beat of their own drum... Have never cared what others are doing I do what I want to regardless who follows....

I actually think the majority feels sorry for underdogs.....
