I think the problem is that you can only put two options to a vote in a demogratic way if both options are ethical, legal and morally right. Like, for example Obama or Clintion for president. But it would unethical (and unconstitutional) to ask people to vote on women's suffrage, even if there was a majority in favour of abandoning it.

At the moment I think there is no agreement in the community in which category the warning issue falls, and from what I have read I don't think it's likely that people will agree on that any time soon.

I've stopped reading about it, it's like watching a dog with rabies chasing it's own tail. I'm sure I can accommodate whatever the outcome of the discussion is.
