The vast majority of 'Joe Public' I have spoken to
don't feel it was a travesty. The majority won. We lost.
--and--
No legal system is perfect, all pretty crappy. I've
never met anyone, from anywhere in the world, who liked
their political system.

Well, Paul, I think that you owe it to yourself, and
the rest of your fellow citizens to first understand that none
of you voted for anything. Was there in fact a plebiscite placed
before all of the people, asking them to vote on the issue?
You deceive yourself when you believe that just
any aspect of your liberty can be voted on. How many more
aspects of your liberty will you just let slip away by a
'majority' vote? Will you just keep rolling over until your
own life at stake? What will you resort to then?
And, you are certainly correct in you last statement
above, in regards government: some people can never have
enough control, while the rest of us just want the control
freaks to just plain bug-off.
The happy medium - if there is such a thing, happens
when the laws of land have everything to with protecting and
promoting liberty, and nothing to do with denigrating any aspect
of it, in the name of safety, or security, or necessity.
That is what you should be 'shooting' for, pun intended.
