Speaking of theocracy at the local level - is it not good government if the people get what they want through their government, even if it is tinged with ‘theocracy’? I’m not a fan of blue laws, but if a majority wants liquor stores, car dealers, etc., closed on Sunday, or the topless bars zoned to go outside of city limits, then their city or state does their bidding, is that not good government?

Disagreeing with what the majority wants and disagreeing with the definition of the role of government seems to be two contradicting things - at least at a local level.

What when the majority wants to ban gay marriage? Interracial marriage? Abortion rights? Birth control? Short skirts? All kinds of other stuff that you can list until the cows come home?
