Pan, I would argue the that when the laws allowing blacks equal rights or the laws allowing divorce (used as examples above) were brought about *before* there was a majority of people supported them. It was the change in the laws that allowed them to become increasingly normal in the eyes of society.
I firmly believe that referenda are a terrible way to enact laws. Representative democracy may be messy but it is much (much!) better than a rule of majority. I can see you understand this in your replies but then you contradict yourself in others.
