Mark Twain Was Wrong About Voting And Brutal Laws

Mark Twain was well-intentioned, but wrong, when he wrote in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, "Men write many fine and plausible arguments in support of monarchy, but the fact remains that where every man in a state has a vote, brutal laws are impossible." We have learned since Mark Twain's time that having a vote is not enough. People have to actually use their votes. What's more, people need to use their votes after educating themselves on the relevant issues. Brutal laws like the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act and the Protect America Act are all too possible, when people cast aside their votes like used grocery bags.
