Re: Fate of Free Press
allow me to rephrase, one should be against the imposition of an unpopular view on people.
Also allow me to restate; you're right. But in our/Pakistan's case this democratic essence in not imposing *anything unpopular may have been fresh and full of optimism in 1947, 1956 or 1973, but even after repeated experimentation when popular view/choice results in equally if not more chaotic blunders, shouldn't one try and remind of the past mistakes?
I cant come to terms with letting a 100 ppl make a same mistake a 100th time and leave them alone and submit to their will and popular decision just because they are 100 and thus popular majority and no question shall be asked on that decision's correctness...or is that what *power to the people and live and let live is about? Jump off a cliff in a popular democratic unified decision. Nobody's to question. Perhaps one shouldn't question if there's 0 interest involved, but as long as one has even 0.1% stake, one has a right and duty to question and promote view even if it is comparatively unpopular. *Imposition *is another story.
And this paranoia abt popular view; simply because of the track record...
