The stupidity of it? Of people vote for brexit or nazis or slavery is it fine just because they voted?
But I percieve human stupidity as a fifth elemental force. And disasters caused by it as sort of natural disasters.
And while I can see the obvious difference between flames consuming someone's house and a peacefully burning candle, I am aware of the connection between them and I can make up a scenario of how one can potentially lead to the other.
Thanks, I'm aware that, in situations related to school curricula, most people need to make up absurd strawmen in order to argue that something is happening that isn't (e.g. removing pornography from the school library inevitably leads to book burnings in the parking lot after the high school football game). In your example you'd be the one in favor of banning candles because you fundamentally don't trust people to handle things themselves in a reasonable way, according to their own interests and preferences.
They influenced voters! Those bastards!
Look up "We send the EU £350m a week. Let’s fund our NHS instead" as one of the major examples.
