     DIdn't the British go around trying to impose their own particular
values and beliefs on everybody?

     You're going to make the case that your beliefs entitle you to
enforce *your* views with *your* army more than the British did?

     In a democracy one guy means nothing.  Less than nothing.  The majority
cares not a whit about him or his rights.

     The majority does not like the way some guy or small town is living
their lives, so they come in an impose their will on them.  YOu feel that
this is right?
