re: #80 Killgore Trout

It’s been a frustration for a lot of people. Somebody on Dkos wrote about attending the rally here in Portland. The posters decided to block off a portion of Main Street down town with bales of straw, blocking traffic. The protesters held a 4 hour meeting to create a consensus to allow ambulances and emergency vehicles through their barricade. It’s pretty absurd.

There are disadvantages to a majority-vote decision-making process also. To say that there are frustrations/disadvantages to a consensus process is not particularly profound.
