That's not democracy though. Can you give an example of where the minority overrode the tyranny of the majority in a democratic society? The major changes in the US regarding tyranny (civil rights act, 13th, 14th, 15th amendment) were due to the majority forcing change and overriding the tyranny of the minority.
