If I say I'm beginning a career as an arsonist today by burning down one house, does that mean there aren't other arsonists in the world setting larger fires, or that it's OK for me to burn that house? If I go ahead and burn that house, would you not be concerned about me later deciding to burn the street?

Regardless, my only point was that "we shouldn't question democracy in action" isn't really a viable stance, given the number of historic examples we have of democracy in action leading to horrendous outcomes.
