I understand how offensive majority rule (and the informed will of the citizenry) is for some corporations and apparently for some few people as well. But nonetheless, as a Democrat, I find majority rule of the people - particularly when it is strong - to be admirable.

The Pseudo, Profit-Driven-Science of Corporate Functionaries-in-Lab-Coats, Inc. -- and their array of Captured Universities, Inc. -- is indeed a grave danger for the human beings.
