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.

Date: 2010-08-07 04:14 am (UTC)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.
