Reading a letter from Peanuts author, Charles Schultz, to a fan recently.
By pluralising the term minority, minorities, does he refer to races, sects, groups, associations as sifted through inclusionary filters until qualifying into a classifiation or division?
Ayn Rand insisted “the smallest minority is the individual.” If this is truth …therein lies a problem.
How far to go in mincing out what defines a smallest minority?
Quite a ways, it appears.
What lengths are we as a people expected to provide said protection?
How are we to expected to protect said minorities?
Who gets to define a minority?
Who does said protection affect, good, bad and ugly?
Who are the people who enforce protection of a minority?
When is enough protection enough?
