"Many people believe that voting is not just a good thing to do; they think that we have a positive duty to vote, and that non-voting would violate that duty. Moreover, many think that we have this duty no matter how we vote (so long as we don't, for instance, vote for the Neo-Nazi candidate). Voting is one of the most important rites of citizenship we have, and we are bad citizens, perhaps even bad people, if we fail to vote.

Jason Brennan disagrees with all of this. He thinks that we have a romanticized picture of voting and voters, one which puts the expressive value of voting above the quality of a person's vote. Voting, on Brennan's view, is just another activity -- like riding a bike or skiing or playing an instrument. We can do it well or we can do it poorly. And if we do it poorly, it's probably better that we don't do it at all. When ignorant voters vote, Brennan says, "though they intend to promote the common good, they all too often lack sufficient evidence to justify the policies they advocate." When bad voters vote anyway, Brennan argues, "they pollute democracy with their votes and make it more likely that we will have to suffer from bad governance" (5). It wouldn't just be a good thing if more bad voters didn't vote; for Brennan, bad voters have a duty not to vote."

Interesanti, vai kāds no cibiņiem arī piedalījās svētdienas kritiskās domāšanas eksāmenā pie dzīvesvietai tuvākā ATM?

Intense, long, certain, speedy, fruitful, pure -
Such marks in pleasures and in pains endure.
Such pleasures seek if private be thy end;
If it be public, wide let them extend.
Such pains avoid, whichever be thy view:
If pains must come, let them extend to few.

Un kāpēc šis vēl nav izdots DVD? Koncerts notika tieši četrus gadus atpakaļ, t.i., 12.10.2007.

Šoreiz latviešu demokrātijas tēva vietā izbijušais kompartijas funkcionārs un zemnieks A. Brigmanis, kurš pārsteidz ar citātu no "12 krēsliem".
""Valoda ir lieta, kur nevar būt kompromisu. Ir viena valoda, tā ir latviešu valoda, tā ir vienīgā vieta pasaulē, kur mēs esam. Šeit tirgus nav vietā. Vienīgā valoda ir latviešu valoda," uzsvēra Brigmanis."

Sacensība par lielākā patriota titulu izraisa nelabumu. Tikai tā varu komentēt tā saucamās koalīcijas lēmumu aicināt piedalīties referendumā par valodu un balsot pret.

Kaut kas tajā ir ļoti atpazīstams
"Berlusconi is a genius in communication," says Eco. "Otherwise he would never have become so rich. From the beginning he identified his target – middle-aged people who watch television. Young people do not watch television; they are on the internet. The people who support Berlusconi are 50- and 60-year-old ladies and retired people, who, in a country with an ageing population, make a powerful electoral force. So even some of his famous blunders may be blunders for me and you, but probably for the provincial 60-year-old lady or gentlemen they are not. His appeal was 'pay less taxes'. When the premier says you are right not to pay taxes, you are pleased."
