Is this political correctness run amok?

[L Verge]

My problem with modern democracy is that we seem to be forgetting that majority rules. If decisions are made by the majority of the ELECTORATE instead of the ELECTED, I will feel better.

I understand the principles of representative government (before I get smacked with that!), but I'm afraid that that system is failing the majority of the people by their tendencies towards gerrymandering, accepting bribes and perqs, bowing to the squeaky wheels, worrying more about getting re-elected than serving those who elected him/her -- and I could go on.

If I remember correctly, one of the ways to destroy a country is to destroy, alter, or taint their heritage. Hillary Clinton repeated that principle a few years back in one of her speeches. That's one of the times I agreed with her.
