I think I would be okay with a direct democracy as long as any legislation passed through direct means underwent a judicial review for constitutional issues before someone was directly harmed by said legislation. The current system of requiring locus standi before a law can be challenged is bad enough with representatives who are supposedly more educated on legal matters passing laws of questionable constitutional legality - I could only imagine how much worse it would be with a largely uneducated (on legal matters) population.
What's that saying? Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner or something?
