It's the tyranny-of-the-majority problem.  We choose between
the tyranny of local, provincial majorities, or tyranny of
great masses.

D- Current reality -- tyranny of the small oligarchial gerrymander indirect 
minority rule min-masses in the U.S.A. Congress and every State legislature 
(tending towards monarchy in the U.S.A. government in times of war -- as is 
the current case)  --- circa 3 to 10 leaders in each such house controlling 
the agenda.

Nations with semi-accurate indirect majority rule p.r. systems -- Germany, 
New Zealand and even Israel (under attack by killer suicide folks --- like 
the Japanese kamikazes attacking U.S. Navy ships in World War II) --- seem to 
survive without having too much alleged tyranny.
