The majority are quite often passing laws that that control the activities of minorities. The only recourse minorities have is chalenge them in the courts and have them found unconstitutional. Unfortunately the founding fathers did not include marriage in the constitution, unless "pursuit of happiness" or something can apply.
I'm convinced that the government would have already taken all the guns if the right to own them wasn't specifically stated.
I know this may sound trivial to some. I am a motorcyle enthusiest and there is a battle going on in most states to pass or repeal helmet laws. About half the states currently have helmet laws. Since a majority do not ride bikes it is easy to convince them to pass these laws. After all it is for our own good that we wear them isn't it? Just because something is a good idea does not mean we have to pass a law. I am waiting for them to pass a law that restaurants cannot serve food high in fat content, LOL,
Most Christians probably believe gay marriage is a bad idea. They (we) do not need so many laws restricting our freedom. I wish the constitution would not allow these laws restricting our behavior just because the majority thinks the activity is bad for us. Hopefully some day we can live and let live and always err to the side of personal freedom.
