Well the anoying galoot who works next to me asked one day which way I voted on a recent referendum.
My answer was that I don't care what the question is on a referendum I vote against it.
You see I don't believe in referendums.
We live in a representative democracy. We elect people to represent us in the legislature.
Referendums are an indication that these people are not doing their job.
Referendums are also a device through which a majority can exercise tyranny over a minority.
For these simple reasons I am against referendums.
When faced with a referendum call your representative and ask him why you have to deal with this issue when you hired him to do it for you.
This is not about the Eric Hoffer book but he still might turn up from time to time.
