We will just congratulate him on doing it once. A friend of ours stationed in Korea recently tried to get through the exit station at the airport in possession of his legally-owned personal weapons. Democracy, simply stated, is majority rule. No more, no less. Majority rule may be a good thing, but to make a god of it is to be politically simple-minded.
Majority rule justifies three people in a lifeboat in killing and eating the other two.
Some of the things done in ancient Athens in the name of democracy were frightfully oppressive, and we must remember that the Nazi Party was elected by a wide majority. To me it seems that the aim of government is the optimum balance of liberty and order. Democracy is one way of achieving that, but for democracy to succeed it requires the virtue of the people, as Montesquieu observed. Thus when we cheer for democracy we must remember that it may not be the best, but rather the least of several evils. Note that democracy is nowhere mentioned in either the Declaration of Independence or the US Constitution.
