Beware the tyranny of the majority. You can't always follow the will of the most popular opinion/benefit.

Hypothetical: most of the US population lives near the coasts. Popular vote says that mail delivery would be better if it only served the coasts.

Edit: I agree with your general sentiment, but majority rule has its own issues.
