Referendum needed over minority tyranny

Jim Ramsey, recognition of America’s current minority rule efforts is just one of the many that occur with our two-party politics. Minorities are always busy trying to tyrannize the majority. Even the Supreme Court feels free to violate majority wisdom.

A national referendum would be useful to override minority tyranny. As is, we are not really a real democracy, rather a hodgepodge of horse-and-buggy authorities.
