Any smokers into Ayn Rand/Objectivism?

[boroboro]

Could a libertarian really be in favor of democracy? In favor of letting a majority of people vote to force you to do, or not to do, X?

I know it usually 'goes without saying' that people are generally in favor of democracy. Especially when discussing off-the-beaten-path topics like cannabis, though, we should question that.

'Democracy' could be easily defined as 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. I wouldn't want to be the sheep...

or the pot smoker in a democratic society with a majority of people misinformed by widespread propaganda...

History has shown Democracy is a friend of liberty and libertarians.

Besides, would you prefer the wolves starve?

I agree with Liam, Ayn Ran seems to put everything in black or white. This is this way and that is that way. The universe doesnt work like that, everything is different shades of gray. There is no Universal right and wrong in the big picture. Everything can be interrepreted differently from whoever or whatever you ask.
