EXACTLY

Borrowed from [livejournal.com profile] ajslj:

In 1787, the majority of people in this country thought African Americans were worth only three fifths of a human being. In 1887, the majority of people in this country thought Interracial Marriage was an abomination. In 2008, the majority of Californians thought marriage should only be between a man and a woman. Just because the majority of people in this country agree with you doesn't mean that you are right, it just means that a lot of people are wrong.

I don't think that it is clear. In fact I think that there are going to be some serious problems when and if it does happen. But I don't think you will ever get enough people to agree with it to get it passed in the first place. The congress critters we have up there like their jobs too much for that.

But I could be wrong. It's been known to happen once or twice. ;-)

That's another thing that bugs me about politics, politicians just pandering to voters rather than doing the right thing because all they care about is keeping their comfy jobs. =P
