No, if the majority really does want it then we should do it, that's what a democracy is. If we choose to legalize something though we should be clear about it, and I hope we would have a reason to justify the change more powerful than "well now we wanna do it". If it's legal it's legal, no if-ands-or-buts about it afterward, do you think people are going to be able to do that? I think there's enough ambiguity and chance for harm to keep the law as it is.

so..... mob rule rules?
|
how about 'let the people choose'. You are using the term 'mob rule' as a negative, but you are calling society a mob. It may or may not be, but either way it deserves the right to shape its own fate.

It does, and we have. What we were discussing (interpretable law) is the way things are done.
|
My point orginally was that laws should be flexible, but through the use of provisions, not precident alone.
