What if 97% of the guys in a UPT class want to have a stripper in the morning brief for Rhino's birthday (i miss the 80's) but the one guy objects for religious reasons; does the majority rule (and no, he can't be excused from the brief, it's the first week on the flight line for chrissakes).

What if the minority Festivus citizenry want to put up an aluminum pole next to the unconstitutional-but-unchallenged baby Jesus crèche on the town hall lawn ---- but the majority don't want the pole there. Does the majority deny the minority their religious expression? If so, haven't we Established a defacto official religion at that point?

What if you live in Dearborn, Michigan (which I believe is majority Muslim) and the majority wants to shut the whole town 5 times a day for prayer, does the Christian minority just have to "deal with it"?

What if 99% of the country doesn't think a 38 year old should get a lifetime retirement benefit for his 20 years of military service? Looks like you're about to get your way on that one.....
