Well, since those people make up probably over 80% of American society, who then should make that determination?

Look, it's not going to be perfect. But it will be better than right now--which is having absolutely nothing.

It's going to have to start with them, build a consensus, and then slowly work around it.

In a self-governing nation the answer to that should be self-evident.

We have a fair amount of control over public venues at the local level, and control of what we do personally. Sometimes I think the federal bureaucrats have managed to convince people that their claims that if you can't regulate everything, you can't really regulate anything actually have merit.

They weren't call "laboratories of democracy" for nothing.
