Them's the breaks when you live in a society where majority rules. It's
what the majority wanted, and it's what they got. The way it should be.
Not the majority's wishes being held hostage to the whining whims of the
small, but highly vocal minority.



Perhaps you can identify such a society?

Personally, I live in the United States. The
people rule here, and we self govern by means of a Constitution. There are
steps outlined whereby a "majority" can change the constitution- but until the
constitution is changed it guarantees equal protection and rights for all. It
specifically protects minority and dissenting elements from extra-legal
persecution by the majority.

Public sentiment is fickle. We see it all the time in the state where I live.
One year the
"majority" approves a new government program at the state level, (with the
required spending, of course), and the next
year the "majority" calls for tax revisions that wipe out the funding for the
programs recently voted into place. That's not government, that's anarchy, and
it's why we have federal and state constitutions.
