would accept an open, clear tyranny of the minority. i am certain we all feel strongly that minority rule is wrong.

the problem with taking polls, or votes, on equality marriage is that it is asks for a majority decision on abridging *equal* rights. the supreme courts are about stopping such tyranny of the majority.

this thread is ABOUT a majority wanting to limit my rights to less-than-equal. there are people here at DU who are falling for the deception that the majority decision on this matters AT ALL.

i mean, yes, of course the majority of this country could decide to become an open tyranny, and often steps into being one, and hopefully back out of it, but people here surely do not want this country to become a tyranny of the majority!


peace
