Oh absolutely. Democracies have no concern for what's right. They never have. They are concerned with equality and freedome which are great but justice has to be present. Sometimes it jsut isn't because supporting the majority cancels this out a lot of the time. Ethics is probably the real problem. Starts with the family and if parents don't teach their children right and wrong then it carries through life.
I think another quote about democracy is, "A democracy's largest danger is public opinion." Conformity of the masses is always a bad thing which is usually apparent in democracies especially in America. But don't get me started on politics haha. I'll never stop talking.
