George W. Bush Sewage Plant makes the ballot! Quote:

-----
SAN FRANCISCO - A measure seeking to commemorate President Bush's years in office by slapping his name on a San Francisco sewage plant has qualified for the November ballot.

The measure certified Thursday would rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

Supporters say the idea is to commemorate the mess they claim Bush has left behind by actions such as the war in Iraq.

Local Republicans say the plan stinks and they will oppose it.

So if the majority of the people voted to disallow interracial marriages, you'd be okay with no court stepping in? What if some state decided to kick all black people out? All Irish? All (fill in the blank) group out?

To you, does the democratic process trump all? So if the majority of people in the US wanted to permit slavery to start again, that'd be okay with you? To take the vote from women?

This country would be in an even sorrier state if the courts didn't step in as needed to allow for progress. (And back when blacks/women couldn't vote, how many people would have called that change "progress"?)
