I guarantee you if this issue was put to a nationwide vote the people defending this site would be countable compareable to the hundreds of millions that would be against it.

Start with John Stuart Mill's 'On Liberty'. Educate yourself as to the implications of the actions you're so fervently advocating. Then come back and give us a more knowledgeable opinion on this topic.
"In this essay Mill also warns of a second danger to liberty, which democracies are prone to, namely, the
tyranny of the majority. In a representative democracy, if you can control the majority (and get them to vote for, and elect, your candidates) then you can control everyone (because your candidates, once "democratically elected", will pass whatever laws are needed for this, as was done by Hitler's agents in the 1930s in Nazi Germany and seems to be happening today in the U.S.A.)."
