Jim VB<<for those of you who say the majority spoke and the rest of us should just accept that are surprisingly short sighted. >>
Josh,
I agree. There was a time in our country's not too distant past, when the majority of people in the country thought slavery was OK. Less than 50 years ago at least 22 states had laws banning inter-racial marriage. In those states, this was supported by the majority.
As Joann said above, some human rights need to be protected, regardless of what the majority wants.
However, from the viewpoint of my age (50's) I see that this is a much different country than it was when I was a kid. We have improved by leaps and bounds in many areas. We still have a ways to go in some areas. I do not operate under the assumption that we will fix all these things overnight, but they will be fixed in time.
