Matt Forman Quote
If I am not mistaken, Matt Forman, a gay rights leader made this remark last year:
"Civil rights should never be put up to a vote."
And I agree with him. If civil rights for blacks would have put up to a vote in the south during the 60's...well...it doesn't take a genius to get that answer to that.
And we might also remember here the oft quoted words by Alex de Tocqeuville (1805–1859: He wrote Democracy in America, a widely influential study of American institutions) who warned of the "tryanny of the majority".
