Old-goaT, you are too ignorant to understand how stupid you sound when you tell people you are making nonjudgmental observations on a subject as you harangue others for their opinions; it also makes you a liar, Old-goaT, because you are being judgmental even as you protest that you are not.

+1...and I would add Democracy encourages tyranny of the minority.....a process that doesn't respect the will of the people and a court system that preempts their will...............California ballot inititatives being routinely invalidated by the out of touch 9th circuit as an example.
