Absolute democracy is the election of leaders to rule for a specific period of time.
As Feanor points out, democratic citizens don't get to vote on what colour to paint a tank, that is the job of the government.
Mob rule, on the other hand, is mob rule. Chaos, anarchy etc etc, not democracy.
Because democracy isn't overly-represented by Russia or Singapore is not an argument that democracy is over-rated sorry.
