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.

There is a difference between recognizing and allowing for the wishes
of the minority, and denying the rights of the majority in the
process. The minority has the right to "do their own thing" but they
don't have the right to demand that the majority stops doing their's
out of some warped interpretation of "tolerance".

Really? So there was nothing wrong with segregation, eh?

Absolutely not. After all, the separation of paired alleles or
homologous chromosomes, especially during meiosis, so that the members
of each pair appear in different gametes occurs by segregation. :)

Take care.
