And the key thing is 'rule by the people' - majority rule being one way to do it, but many think an inclusive majority is better.
Just because you are with the mob, doesn't mean you have a right to lynch those who stand apart from it. For a start, you probably have a bill of rights, or equivalent, in your country. Secondly, you have a constitutional framework limiting the directions in which government can legislate. If all else fails, your country is probably a signatory of the UDHR and is obliged to provide said rights to its citizens.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes there are many ways to approach the idea but they all result in stuffing some people up to please others, either the majority stuff the minority, the minority stuff the majority, or the democratic system stuffs everyone somewhat.
Hence my assertion that democracy is kinda impossible.
