This is What Democracy Looks Like?

Seeing that it is better that offenders should die rather than that all of us should be killed by God's just wrath against us for the folly of tolerating-wickedness in our midst, the People of California wisely command, in the fear of God, that any person who willingly touches another person of the same gender for purposes of sexual gratification be put to death by bullets to the head or by any other convenient method.

I used to say that the greatest argument against democracy was ten minutes on twitter. I'm beginning to think it may be a knowledge of the legislative proposals arising from California's direct democracy inspired statute law initiatives.

Of course, the alternatives to democracy are even worse. So liberal democracy, it seems, is the way to go. But the emphasis should weigh heavily in favor of the liberal side rather than the democratic so as to save us from the madness of the masses.
