Well that's the thing - I'm tired of when people have to pounce on the difference between democracy and republic when the former is used casually and the general meaning of "free country" is the point.
Here, however, the idea of a republic prevents this exact problem - in theory, if rules are followed etc, tyranny by the majority - no matter how well-meaning - is prevented.
As part of the Great Awakening and restructuring of the financial system and the entire US govt, and abolition of USA, INC., the country name should be updated to The Republic of United States of America.
Ironically, Democracy, or majority rule, is something that would be repulsive to Democrats in the US. Why? Here's a short list of majorities:
White people
Heterosexuals
Christians
Law-abiding citizens
Pro-America
Capitalists
Republicans
Respect the US flag
...ALL MAJORITIES.
Democrats, suddenly: "WTF I hate majority rule now!!!"
"White people" - which they are in the maddest dash possible to eliminate though the funny part is Hispanics are trending to be several of the other things on your list as it turns out.
A democracy is only as good as the majority of people who participate in it.
