If it was always 'majority rules', we would still have slaves, women wouldn't be allowed to vote, etc etc etc.

there was a time when we DID have slaves, and women could NOT vote - because that's what the majority wanted. people were also accused of witchcraft and hung without a trial. over time attitudes changed what the majority wanted.

of course you are free to have a minority opinion without getting thrown in jail, but don't expect it to become a law if it comes to a vote.
