I don't know what I expected the people as a whole to do, but I guess I didn't expect such quick consensus and lack of debate/discussion on such complex matter.

I don't know what I expected the people as a whole to do, but I guess I didn't expect such quick consensus and lack of debate/discussion on such complex matter. The people have certainly debated/went up in arms for much lesser matters in the past. I feel there's a wider range of possible reactions between instant compliance to outright defiance. But I don't see many of those in-between reactions. It may be me...
