A full participatory democracy - unless it was subject to the exact same constraints as the original Constitution - would be the absolute worst form of tyranny - the tyranny of the majority over the minority.

Wrong... while it is true government petty-tyrant-wanna-be's willl tell you that 'driving is a privilege', the courts have consistently ruled the opposite... traveling, including by horse or whatever is the current/popular mode of travel at the time (and yes, decisions have specifically included automobiles), is a RIGHT, NOT a privilege.
This really infuriates me. Hemp is NOT marijuana. YEs, it is in the same family, but industrial grade hemp - which has all kinds of marvelous uses and the decriminalization/reintroduction of which could SAVE OUR (and our farmland) ECONOMY IN ONE YEAR - is NOT something anyone can get high on. Its THC content is so low as to be virtually non-existent.

Same goes for flying.
Please stop being such a sheeple, peeple...
