If we allow Prop 8 to pass, THAT will be a blow to democracy, because that will allow any majority to discriminate against the minority.

 

Mob rule allows the majority to discriminate against a minority if its their will.

Yes it does, and a constitutional democracy grants the rule of the majority and the rights of minorities. 

 

Thank god we don't live in a Constitutional Democracy.  Thank god we live in a Constitutional Democratic Republic.

Edit: Well, I do.  Canada and South Korea have what type of governments? ;)
