A nép ellensége

Orbán Viktor 1999-ben hozott egy döntést, amely sokak szerint a miniszterelnöki poziciójába került három évvel késöbb. 1999 tavaszán Viktor leállíttatta a 4-es metro építését. Hatalmas balhé lett az ügyböl. Viktor és a fidesz a föváros ellensége, mondták...
Aztán most egy jórészt baloldali-liberális civil szervezet tanulmánya elkezdi pedzegetni: a 4-es metro rossz beruházás...elképesztö költséges: 20 évre ellehetetleníti Bp. tömegközlekedésének érdemi fejlesztését!
Bizony vannak igazságok, amelyeket a nép csak 20 évvel késöbb ért meg.
"Dr. Stockmann: 'The most dangerous enemy of truth and freedom amongst usis the compact majority--yes, the damned compact Liberalmajority--that is it! Now you know'...
-Hovstad: 'The majority always has right on its side.'
-Billing: 'And truth too, by God!'
-Dr. Stockmann: 'The majority never has right on its side. Never, I say! That is one of these social lies against which anindependent, intelligent man must wage war. Who is it thatconstitute the majority of the population in a country? Is it theclever folk, or the stupid? I don't imagine you will dispute thefact that at present the stupid people are in an absolutelyoverwhelming majority all the world over. But, good Lord!--youcan never pretend that it is right that the stupid folk shouldgovern the clever ones I...
I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majorityhas the monopoly of the truth. What sort of truths are they thatthe majority usually supports? They are truths that are of suchadvanced age that they are beginning to break up. And if a truthis as old as that, it is also in a fair way to become a lie, gentlemen.
A normally constituted truth lives, let us say, as a rule seventeen or eighteen, or at most twenty years--seldom longer..."
