I absolutely agree with this if you mean direct democracy as in "mob rules". We have a quasi-direct democracy in the form of public opinion driven by the media and the media's influence over the easily manipulated resulting in reactionary and emotionally driven decision making. Banning of the confederate flag in public places recently would be an example of a reactionary decision from a seemingly direct democracy.

A direct democracy ie, "mob rules" isn't good for anything unless you're a Black Sabbath fan.
