Who was it that said, just because politics is dominated by majority voting, that doesn't mean that the majority have the right to dictate their views to the minorities.
I blame baby boomers. The sooner these '45 to '60 born arseholes - and their parents - shuffle off this mortal coil, the better.
Yes, these are our parents and grandparents, we love them, but the way they think and behave _en-masse_ is fucked up - and there's too many of the fuckers for them to be outvoted anytime soon. Maybe, just maybe, by the time I hit 45 (if i/we make it that far) enough of them will be gone such that those who are left can start pushing society towards a path of evolutionary thought, instead of trying to hark back to the good old days before anyone knew what to do with their gonads, or that drugs other than tobacco and alcohol could be taken to expand your awareness - should you choose.
I'l stop my rant here.
