Arrest for Dancing in Jefferson's Memorial

So typically the laws reflect the opinions of the majority, while the minority still has to pay for it and be unhappy about it. Someone will ALWAYS disagree, because we are human, and we have different perspectives and values. Thus, to make a change, you need to change the opinion of the majority. That's the way our system works, in North America. That's democracy. If you don't like it, change the system, or move somewhere with a different system.

While what you say is technically correct, and while I don't want to sound like a Chinese communist party politician, but in our societies there would be less problems if those who happen to find themselves in a minority considering some minor issue wouldn't always make a huge personal problem out of it, as if it was a clandestine scheme by the majority to hunt down whatever minority. Like these dancers who looked like they felt it was a personal insult to them that dancing in a solemn public place was forbidden - despite most visitors likely finding that rule to be of zero consequence or even beneficial. Not that most visitors would ever even hear of it.

However, that the majority has the right to control the minority is ludicrous, especially since we know that EVERYONE has a different opinion about how life should be lived. (And I'm agreement with you on the above quote)

Logic dictates the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

This is the very core principle of democracy. Democracy isn't by far perfect but at the moment it's the least bad of the useful types of governments.
