How very generous of Mr. Klein – he’s inclined to let us have our voices now that the decisions have been made. Responding on NY 1 to the inconvenient citizenry that would prefer to stop his half-baked scheme, Joel Klein responded:
"People should be able to make their views known...People who object and dissent, that's what this democracy is all about."
Actually, no, Mr. Klein. Making one’s views known before the closed door of a palace is not quite democracy.
In fact, when voice is merely tolerated, then there is very little difference between the tyrant who beheads dissent, and government appointee who simply shrugs his shoulders, plugs his ears.
