OpenMarket.org: Sweden Kills Democracy

    That's certainly a bad bit of news for liberty and smaller govt. fans. ;-(

    But I don't think it's necessarily anti-democracy, is it? Isn't democracy just majority-rule, or perhaps mob-rule? If the majority of people support this, I think would still be considered democratic.

    Speedmaster is right. It's not really anti-democracy, just anti-privacy - and probably enables anti-liberty policies. Unfortunately, in the U.S. today, "democracy" has become a synonym for "good" - anything good is democratic and anything democratic is good.
