Fifty years ago the majority of Americans were for segregation. How drastically wrong that was.

No it doesn't mean you're right, it just means you're in the majority.

Let me pose a rhetorical question: was anti-black feelings right? We've seen in the past, the majority of America has done wrong. Non-women Suffrage, anti-black feelings, destruction of the U.S.'s native people. The majority has been wrong, and the ability for the U.S. to recognize and accept that we've done stupid stuff is just as good as "being" right.
So in short, NO, being in the majority is NOT right. Although it will pass laws in Congress. ;)

The majority is not always correct. The majority of Germans supported Hitler, the majority of men believed women should not vote when this country was founded, etc etc etc

How many of our fellow citizens were told to get on their knees and obey and not question or doubt authority (= church) since they could speak?
Majority? Yes, the majority of us can't or don't or won't think rationally but are leaving it all up to...God? The government?

No the Majority is not always right. That is why we have the Bill of Rights, Seperation of Powers and a Bicameral legislature.

YOU are so correct!!! All you have to do is look back to last term with a republican control congress and White House to see the mistakes and realize the Majority is not right!

Hardly, and as history has demonstrated, it is unlikely that the majority is right. Because right, is not always right for everyone. Think for yourself.

Neither party is totally right.. the true answer lies somewhere in the middle... That is what we should all focus on.

Just because "group think" exists, doesn't mean it's all the right thought :-)
