The only alternative to "the mob" of majority rule is some form of minority rule. Words can't rule on their own.
Minority rule has all the problems of majority rule, and then some.
Yes, once in a blue moon the guardian councils of the world may be right when public opinion is wrong. But it seems to me ten times as often, it's the other way around.
And even then, you must remember that public opinion is far from democratic. Some people have far more power to make themselves heard, influence how people see things, etc. I'm for majorities of people, not majorities of power-shareholders.
