Not "only" in self-interest,

People do have prejudices. Majority rule enables majority prejudices. Good, fair government requires compromises based on objective analysis of the facts. Absolute majorities don't need to compromise. And majorities can be so horribly, horribly wrong.

I enjoy the fact that on every single long thread like this you create on /links you are desperate to have the last comment.
It makes you look REALLY KNOWLEDGEABLE on a wide variety of subjects, and not like an eight-year old whispering 'I know you are, but what am I?', hoping that everyone else has lost interest.
