Goddamn, I want you to go and vote. When you don't vote you have lost your voice. Wrong people win the election and they create laws that run contrary to your ethics. Then you can't be blaming the law because it's too late. Do you respect the law? If you respect the law, then you should respect the decision too. As you have found out, this decision was well within the bounds of law. Now how this kind of behavior is permitted by our legal system. It is for you to find out and change.
