maybe cause what most Americans want isn't always what is best. I'll refer something I posted in the political thread.

There are some lines from the movie 1776 that I think could help. Dr. Lyman Hall, the delegate from Georgia to the 2nd Continental Congress. He was having difficulty deciding how to vote on the question of independence from Britain. He was for independence, but the people of Georgia were against it(I have no idea if that was really so but that was the way it was in the movie). He used a quote that he said came from Edmund Burke(a member of the British Parliament) to help make his decision "that a representative owes the People not only his industry, but his judgment, and he betrays them if he sacrifices it to their opinion" Dr. Hall decided to vote for independence. Again, I have no idea if there was an Edmund Burke in Parliament or if he said that quote or if the real Dr. Hall actually used that quote to help him make his decision.
something you have to go against what is popular and do what is right. Remember, sometimes the majority is for the pretty bad things. like slavery for example.

2. according the Conservatives, passing any healthcare legislation at all is unconstitutional.
Jeez Warb, why don't you distort the reality a little bit?
I'm not distorting reality. Just go in the political thread and read someone of Ferris's posts when he is making reference to the 10th Amendment.
see what I mean VFP? So Ferris, Xhonzi's plan would therefore be unconstitutional right?
