in a democratic system such as ours, it is somewhat more managable.

I have very little faith in the usefullness of democracy, but I would agree that it is about the best role a democracy may have: defining the leading culture.

The problem with liberalism is that it doesn't mind tyranny of the majority where it does all of its harm, in the area of economic life, and it decries it where it actually does something good, -- in cultural life.

That's a great line.
