> Well I don't know, what happened to slavery in the south of the united states?

That was supported by the majority of the whites. It's a bit different if you count the opinions of the slaves as well.

[masklinn → wnoise]

You don't, slaves are not people, they don't get to vote and they are not polled. They're not the public.

[jongraehl → wnoise]

That's your objection to slavery?

[wnoise → jongraehl]

No, that's not my objection to slavery. That's my objection to using support of slavery as a false example to discredit the idea that popularity can be used as (sloppy) gauge of morality.
