this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.
