[Vision2020] Vision2020 Digest, Vol 93, Issue 133

[Wayne Price]

Sue,

For the most part, I agree with you, but who gets to decide what is either right or wrong? In a representative democracy, it is the will of the people that is translated into
legislation by the elected representatives.  If any legislature, not just Idaho's, does not carry out the will of the people, then those people will vote them out of office because
they no longer represent the people. But until they are voted out of office, they are the representatives of the people and act accordingly. Rightness or wrongness has nothing to do with it.
