We should really just do away with voting. A handful of people should just figure everything out for us and force us to do it.
I know! It just sucks that I have to use the same drinking fountain as the coloreds. If only Texas had been allowed to vote on segregation-- I could be drinking out of a pure one right now!

Isn't that what is already done? The people could vote in the millions for or against something in their own state but a few intellectual elites sitting up on a bench in a distant place from most of America gets to decide if the people knew what they were doing because the people aren't smart enough to decide for themselves.

I'm so sure the gays have suffered as the blacks have, such a sad comparison when the gays consider themselves as a race of oppressed people. You haven't suffered one thing the blacks have.

A few intellectual elites sitting on a bench in a distant place from most America were commissioned for their job by the Founding Fathers because the people do not always do what is right and altruistic. A few intellectual elites sitting on a bench in a distant place from most of America had to overturn popular opinion on many a civil rights issue. A few intellectual elites sitting on a bench in a distant place from most of America are the last firewall between Liberal Democracy and mob rule.
If there's one thing I've learned from this entire debate, it's that many Americans need to go back to civics class before they start blathering on about concepts they can't even wrap their minds around.
