will of the few

   From the "Voice of the People" in my local newspaper: "This is America, where the will of the few should never be imposed on the majority." I thought ours was a nation of majority rule, with minority rights. Otherwise our great nation hasn't progessed much past the 18th century. I have to wonder what perception of America led to that statement.
   Also from the same section, a letter about saving marriage. Ban divorce. Gay people haven't ruined straight marriages, straight people have. "After all, some of the most vocal ... proponents for marriage and family values have destroyed their own marriages and families by divorce: Rudy Giuliani, Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Steve LaTourette, Dick Armey, Phil Gramm, Bob Dole and Bob Barr." And as close as gay marriage is to gay couples, perhaps banning straight divorce would put things in perspective for heterosexuals. Can you see it? A proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution banning divorce... I can see the yard signs in opposition now.
