What you call the will of the people can just as easily be called tyranny of the majority and I oppose the tyranny of the majority.

As far as the United States goes, it does matter.

Australia began as a prison, does that mea it should always just be a giant prison? No, nations grow up and move on.

I don't consider the United States to be "grown up" in its present form. The big government nanny state is not a grown up government.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
