Consensus-based decision making becomes majority rule – This is yet another very dangerous concept, as is the antithesis to a functioning republic. The paper highlights the “efficiency in decision-making” that is the hallmark of majority-based rule, versus that of a consensus. And there is a reason for this — because every individual has an innate right to participate in the very decisions which will most impact their life.

This is very important because this is what we are seeing under the Obama administration and in our state government in WA. It's government by bureaucrats, academic elites and NGOs, who tell us Progressives Know Best and that they only want to save the world. ....by redistributing it, reducing US population and herding us into cities, and so much more. Daniel Henninger has a piece in the WSJ this week about this same group of people and the role that they play in Obamacare. He calls the Mandarins, like the elitist bureaucrat ruling class in old China. Where we are most familiar with today's "Mandarins" is in regard to property rights issue.
