True. Democracy is mob rule, when you boil it down.
I meant that at the time I was feeling a bit surly and argumentative anyway, and would have picked an argument just for the sake of arguing. Early morning is not a good time for me in general, and discussing political theories is generally not one of my favorite things anyway.

Similarly I took a class titled "Ethics and Health Care" that semester, as I had to have an ethics elective of some sort. The class was taught by a nun who ultimately took a liking to me, especially after I argued in favor of executing criminals by exsanguination to supply the blood banks. (I was ripping off Larry Niven at the time.) I had the class in a minor uproar as I defended my position that it would be a way for violent criminals to repay society by saving lives, and she stood to one side grinning.
