Defend the Ellectoral College!!

Almost everything I would say has already been said, but there is one point I would like to add. What is the 'tyranny of the majority'? Does legalizing homosexual marriages take away anyone's rights? (Just as an example). If the majority cannot decide, then will it be a tyranny of the minority? Why let politicians decide when they have a questionable track record as a whole? Who is 'the majority' anyway? It is stated as if one group is the majority and they oppress the minority, but not everyone agrees with people on every issue; even if they agree on one issue they might not on the next. In that way, few people could claim to be part of the 'majority' in that respect becasue they may be in the minority on some issues and the majority on others.
