On this point we can certainly agree. There are a lot of laws that the majority wanted (or at least the people the majority elected wanted) that are entirely dumb. That's the biggest problem I see in this country today. Too many laws. People aren't expected to take responsibility for themselves anymore. They want mother government to come in and do everything for them.
I mean, lets get down to the real point here, most Americans are idiots. The majority rule idea is a terrible one. People hate what congress does, yet they get re-elected 80%+ of the time. I mean to me, if I don't like what my elected leaders are doing, I do something to oppose them. Right now that something is at the ballot box. I pray to God it stays that way. But on the original point about congress, people don't like what congress does, therefore they don't do anything to change it.
I mean a few people got together and elected Obama. But it seems to me he is doing more of the same thing Bush did, or in some cases he's doing even worse than Bush did.
