I'm more concerned about the mob rule factor, the only evidence of which I need offer is California's proposition 8, in which the mob decided that the law doesn't actually offer equal protection.
And, of course, similar votes in Maine, New Jersey, and Arizona, among other states.

I have some hope for certain kinds of democracy, I've mentioned before the benefits of approval voting over plurality. Some of the mob rule can be ameliorated.

How is this hijacking the thread? It's precisely on topic.
And it's not like Captain Utopia has answered it in his many views of the thread.
