If there is no way to compel those who find a majority decision distasteful to go along with it, then the last thing one would want to do is to hold a vote: a public contest which someone will be seen to lose.

And such answers never seem to achieve any consensus. What is the meaning of life? Your answer is as good as mine--or just as bad.
