Quote by: LadiesMan217  Frankly, I do not care if gays can marry or not. I do not support it but if the choice was up to me I don't think I could deny them the right. Having said that, I am very angry at the fascist way it was overturned. The people of California voted on that ban and passed, also in every state that put it on the ballot in '04. It is highly disturbing that 4 people can override the votes of millions of people. Some people see this as a step forward for human rights, that may be true but it is a leap backwards for democracy. Democracy is dying my friends and if it dies then human rights will be the least of our concerns. |
It is no error that founding fathers gave us a representative democracy instead of a direct democracy. We the people are essentially a fourth branch in the system of checks and balances and as such are not omnipotent. However, we do have final veto powers...
