Being in the "mainstream of political thought (very much)" hardly confers either sanity or correctness. I won't bother with a history lesson to demonstrate ALL those times majorities took the wrong point of view -- like the longstanding disenfranchise of black Americans and women for one small example.

Nor will I give you a civics lesson. But I WILL remind you that American democracy PRESUMES, for all its practical failures, that more wisdom often exists among minorities than majorities. That's why the Constiution was written and has been amended to protect minorities.

Watch the inflation, Mamo. It only compounds your ignorance with arrogance.
