Whose Will Be Done

No, it is not possible to please

all of the people all of the time

by any government even one --  and

-- all the more so one comprised of 

of the multifarious elements of a

varied and complex society. Invariably

there will be some who take offence

and declare it their democratic right

to oppose the government by flocking

to the streets reprimanding a government

that had been democratically elected

by a wide margin most recently. The

vehement denials of a position well

articulated during the election campaign 

winning over a majority vote at the polls

contested through the medium of 

inciting anger among the electorate

by the very government whose second

term bid failed. This is democracy and

this is also the human propensity to cry

foul when one's preferences are given 

short shrift in the greater interests of

pursuing a goal to benefit the entirety.

The raging mobs of denial in their

numbers are those who rail the loudest.

Opposed to the choice of a silent and

determined majority whose will is done.
