That isn't libertarianism (though I have a streak).... and it's ridiculous to call that a "blow to liberty" (many here would say that the more direct democracy the better... remember how many were willing to torch the electoral college when Gore won the popular vote?).

I wasn't saying "go live somewhere else" or "like it or lump it"... I was saying "I wouldn't choose to live there if I felt the system was incorrect and I couldn't change it.

Your error is to point to a system and call it a "blow to liberty" NOT because the system itself is faulty but because the results were not to your liking.

If there were a solid majority in favor of gay marriage yet the state system required an even larger super majority... you and I both know that you would find THAT to be a "blow to liberty".
