Quote by Bill Maher

Whenever the people are for gay marriage or medical marijuana or assisted suicide, suddenly the 'will of the people' goes out the window.

Whenever the people are for gay marriage or medical marijuan

Summary

This quote suggests that there is a discrepancy in how the "will of the people" is interpreted when it comes to certain controversial issues like gay marriage, medical marijuana, or assisted suicide. While the opinion of the majority may be respected and valued on many matters, the quote argues that this is not the case when it concerns these particular topics. It implies a frustration with the inconsistent application of democracy, questioning why the collective voice is disregarded in some instances but highly regarded in others.

Reactance theory does not address how harmful or innocuous control can be and may seem to be too circumscribed to explain the nature of general harmful behavior. However, the limitations of its scope to specific and reactive control motivation do not detract from its power to explain battles for control dynamics. It is formulated to anticipate these specific incidents and, in doing so, addresses harm in general.With this purpose and the applicability of reactance theory in mind, the terms control and specific control are used interchangeably and, because reactance is control motivation, the terms reactance and control motivation are also used interchangeably. A control model, subsuming these concepts and general control, is introduced next, in which control (unless identified by a general control descriptor) is the belief in the freedom to engage in a specific nonharmful or harmful behavior to reach a specific nonharmful or harmful goal that can be exercised for a variety of reasons, most particularly when threatened or taken away, arousing reactance in proportion to its distinctiveness and importance.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14663128619702463487
