The stock market swimming pool

If you jump in the pool when everyone else does, you're bound to make a big splash.

If stay in the pool too long after everyone gets in, you're going to get pissed on.

If you jump in the pool while everyone is getting out, soon you'll have the whole pool to yourself.

The Courts are Unconstitutional

So now the courts can overturn and overrule the votes of the citizens of a state.

What was the point of spending the money, running the campaigns and having everyone in California vote on 'Proposition 8' regarding same sex marriage? Proposition 8 was voted for by a landslide, continuing to disallow gay marriage in California, and I guess that didn't count for anything. The courts have now overturned the vote and have said that gay marriage is now allowed in the state.
Whether you are for or against gay marriage, you have to admit that the legal system has gotten way out of hand. What is a democracy if the voice of voters can be cast out and disregarded by the voice of one judge in a court? Are we really going to give judges that much power? Am I the only one that this bothers?
