Perhaps a more pertinent example would be to substitute 'left handed' with 'black' and 'kill' with 'deny the right to vote'.
The 50.1% majority should not be allowed to dictate absolutely to the 49.9% minority. Letting the tyrrany of the majority have unfettered power would leave women without the vote and black people still as property to their owners, forget about them going to the same school or riding on the same bus.
