should be weighted and not counted. I reject all kind of oppression, and I

Dear friends!
Minorities have a right to be respected. Even a minority of only one person
should
be respected. If nobody will declare a moral human right of Veto, I'll
declare it.
I declare it with nobody less behind me then the last will of Friedrich
Schiller. I want that this last will is respected by everyone whatever
language he is speaking.
His last will on this matter declared Friedrich Schiller in his unfinished
drama * Demetrius *:
* Ich sage Veto. Die Mehrheit? Was ist die Mehrheit? Mehrheit ist Unsinn.
Verstand ist stets bei wen'gen nur gewesen. Man soll die Stimmen wägen und
nicht zählen; Der Staat muss untergehen, früh oder spät, Wo Mehrheit siegt
und Unverstand entscheidet. *
Maybe someone can translate this into English or transfer it from an English
version of * Demetrius *.
(f.n. translation: I say veto. the majority? What is the majority? Majority
is nonsense. Mind only always was done with little. One should weigh the
voices and not count them; The state must sink, early or late, where
majority wins and unreason decides)
I reject all kind of oppression even by the smallest number in the
sentences: * If there is a given number of people that are interested in, at
least agreed by 2 ore 3 participants. *
The procedure should be the other way round. I don't have and don't like to
beg other participants to support my wish to open a new list. If there is
someone asking for another language or thematic list, please open it.
It might be, that today only one person is interested in such a list. If
this list already exists many can subscribe tomorrow when they become
interested by the content of it they otherwise can't find anywhere. No
number requested should oppress the first participant and his feeling is
respected. That is more important than your wish to avoid lists in which no
one is participating. After a while we can close them again.
If now mine oppress your feeling, dear Germà, I'll give up argumentation and
try to stop my fight for the moral human right of Veto against all kind of
majority.
Kind regards.
Frederic
