Just to clear something up a bit.

Whether or not something is illegal is not a particularly good indicator of whether or not it’s wrong.  Also, something can be legal without being right.  In addition, with the right judge, anything can be Constitutional, so don’t count on getting any help there.

Just because a majority votes for something doesn’t make it a good idea.  It’s just that nobody has worked out a better system of deciding things than the one we used to have, and that one still required a majority to pick the people making the decisions.  You can see how well that’s gone.  Damned majority gets all itchy when it has to live with representative government.

The system is not inviolate.  It can, and will, be replaced by another system.  The only question is whether it will be a better one.  History suggests that this is rare.

The best system may well be no system at all.  I have yet to grok, however, how to channel into something useful the overwhelming compulsion people have to organize each other.  Yet another survival skill that’s gotten bigger than its britches in the last little while, and the one that will no doubt be the downfall of the species.

1. Can I just say how glad I am that you appear, at least for now, to be back to regularly posting?  You should be pregnant and grumpy more often! : )

2. Thank you!

   I’m going to try to keep the bloggy-cranky when I lose the pregnant.  The sleep deprivation should help, lol.
