It's a damn shame people are so fucking complacent.

Typically, I sense that you're a Constitutionalist. But, on some matters you seem to support more of democratic than republic system. You want the electoral college done away with and direct population vote on some (or all?) Federal and State legislation, right? The framers of the Constitution are essentially noted as saying that the general public is not qualified to make wise decisions on their own.

I don't think the marijuana possession issue is a big enough concern for the majority of voters to petition outside of their elected officials, but another issue that affected a great number of people more directly might.

I think when the Government is taking from the people it's the peoples responsibility to tell them to fuck off.

Please show me the quote from the founders you referenced.

Typically I will always and have always believed the people are supposed to control the government, not the government control the people and keep them mute in the process.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John Adams
