And in October...

A Times submission for October...

Democracy doesn't mean giving in

A number of people have written to say that we should accept Bush because he was duly elected by a majority of voters, that this is the basis of democracy. Using this logic, slavery, which was once legal, should still exist. Women should never have been given the right to vote. And, of course, people who protest abortion should stop because that issue was decided legally more than 30 years ago.
