Get a majority to pass a state law to ban meat in restaurants.

Sort of like a sheep and three wolves deciding what is for dinner?

That's the system, simplified. We have created some checks and balances via state constitutions and division of power but if you track back to the seeds you will find that a majority can change the laws and by extenstion your property rights.

Ochlocracy, rule by the mob.

The founders totally rejected any idea of a true democracy. The poster is ignorant of fundamentals. It explains much.

Other conservatives should be setting upon this poster for embarassing them by posing as one of them. I don't think they will, I hope I'm wrong.
