"Mais les braves gens n'aiment pas que l'on suive une autre route qu'eux"

(But the good folks don't like it if you take a different road than they do.)

I love this song of Brassens, La mauvaise reputation. It expresses with poetical lyrics and beautiful music what I was trying to say about the major problem of democracy:

People do not accept and do not like who thinks differently (unless it has an apple... :) )

The more they (who are they? Let's say, persons in general) want to prove they are right, the more they blame who does not share their idea. 

And the saddest thing is that they are persuaded to be democratic, and to fight for everyone to have the right to expresses himself. 

"Non les brav's gens n'aiment pas queL'on suive une autre route qu'eux, Tout l'mond' viendra me voir pendu, Sauf les aveugles, bien entendu".

The ugly truth is that everyone is free to say what he thinks and to think what he wants, with the only condition that has to be the same thing everyone else does think and say.
