One cannot make decisions based on the minority when it negatively impacts the majority.

^thats quotable. Someone quote that.

That would be a paraphrase of Aristotle, in his "The Aim of Man":

"Even supposing the chief good to be eventually the aim for the individual as for the state, that of the state is evidently of greater and more fundamental importance both to attain and to preserve. The securing of one individual's good is cause for rejoicing, but to secure the good of a nation or of a city-state is nobler and more divine."

Which is the earliest known reference to the precept of the needs of the individual being less than the needs of the masses. Typically attributed to Star Trek's Mr. Spock: "Logic dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few".

So, on an originality scale, you get a 0.
