We create things that travel faster than the speed of light in other media all the time. The blue Cherenkov Radiation glow in fission reactors is caused by particles exceeding the speed of light in water, and creating a light shockwave analogous to the sound shockwave that e.g. supersonic aircraft produce.
When you say "we", I'm presuming you're referring to all those of us who have fission reactors giving off Cherenkov Radiation glow in our back sheds...
You do realize that the Bible was written by men with an odd woman thrown in, right?
What was odd about the woman?
This is rubbish. If you can't get explicit agreement from a contributor you need to trace them down or replace their contribution, unless you have explicitly obtained the contribution under a licensing agreement.
In this case, Wikimedia's licensing agreement under which contributions were made explicitly allows changing the license to a later version of GFDL, and the latest version of that allows relicensing under CC-BY-SA 3.0 - see many other posts here for the full explanation.
So the voting is about whether Wikimedia's community agree with the policy, not about whether you agree with your submissions being relicensed - you already gave them that right (without assigning copyright to them)
Always look over your shoulder because everyone is watching and plotting against you.
