Americans consume, on average, 51 pounds of chicken every year, 15 pounds of turkey, 63 pounds of beef, 45 pounds of pork, 1 pound of veal, and 1 pound of lamb. 'More than ever,' reports our U.S. Department of Agriculture, 'we are a nation of meat eaters.' And now, with help from Dr. Atkins and his wonder diet, we have millions of consumers gorging themselves on nothing but flesh, one excess to correct their other excesses -- no thought whatever of taking their portion of meat even if we grant that meat production and the sufferings involved are necessary.

Revelation 17:1:
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, 'Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters.'

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

wisdom Surely democracy is just a way of saying 'There are more of us, therefore you must do what we say'. A majority vote is not often 51%, because there are normally more than two options. So then it is not 51% of the population who have it their way. Rather more than this do not get their way...makes you think that dicators have the right idea: At least they get they know they get their way.

Psalms 51:5:
Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
(NIV)

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Psalms 51:10:
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me.

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Romans 3:4:
Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: 'So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.'
(NIV)
By no means! Let God be found true though every human being is false and a liar, as it is written, That You may be justified and shown to be upright in what You say, and prevail when You are judged [by sinful men]. [Ps. 51:4.](AMP)
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
(KJV)

Behold, I was shapened in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Psalms 51:5

Your anger can be 49 % and your comedy 51 %, and you're okay. If the anger is 51 %, the comedy is gone.

Democracy is 51% of the people taking away the rights of the other 49%.
