Vote can't change its true definition

Opinion

Back in 1897 in Indiana, House Bill 246 was passed legislating the value of Pi to be exactly three. But Pi is an irrational number -- in fact, a transcendental number -- and even though they had the votes, the legislation did not change the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It was an attempt to legislate that which is defined by science and math and cannot be changed by legislation.

Recent attempts by the clowns in Olympia to redefine marriage will not change what marriage actually is, even though they had the votes. All it proves is the power of the homosexual lobby. In November we will find out if the people have fallen for this hoax.
