99% jerks

Thomas Sowell, in a few words, can say volumes. In this case he nails it regarding the Occupy mobs.
"But just when did the 99% elect them as their representatives? If in fact 99% of the people in the country were like these "Occupy" mobs, we would not have a country. We would have anarchy.
Democracy does not mean mob rule. It means majority rule. If the "Occupy" movement, or any other mob, actually represents a majority, then they already have the votes to accomplish legally whatever they are trying to accomplish by illegal means.
Mob rule means imposing what the mob wants, regardless of what the majority of voters want. It is the antithesis of democracy."

I was in downtown Denver the other day, and I noticed that the parks that were Occupied are torn up and being re-seeded.  In my humble opinion this is one of Sowell's best pieces: http://news.investors.com/article/610550/201205071832/democracy-does-not-mean-mob-rule.htm
