While many current analyses of democracy focus on creating a more
civil, respectful debate among competing political viewpoints, this
study argues that the existence of structural social inequality
requires us to go beyond the realm of political debate. Challenging
prominent contemporary theories of democracy, the author draws on
John Dewey to bring the work of combating social inequality into
the forefront of democratic thought. Dewey's 'pragmatic' principles
are deployed to present democracy as a developing concept
constantly confronting unique conditions obstructing its growth.
Under structurally unequal social conditions, democracy is thereby
seen as demanding the overcoming of this inequality; this
inequality corrupts even well-organized forums of political debate,
and prevents individuals from governing their everyday lives.
Dewey's approach shows that the process of fighting social
inequality is uniquely democratic, and he avoids current democratic
theory's tendency to abstract from this inequality.

Though I had successful careers as a boat captain, in sales, and
later as a small-business owner, due to my alcoholism and drug use,
I threw every good thing I ever had away. I never could find the
happiness I was searching for. Finally, after being in a very
desperate situation and crying out to God, I received a powerful
revelation of Jesus Christ and an extraordinary visitation of the
Holy Spirit while I slept. This is the story of that glorious
awakening and the Spirit-inspired devotionals gleaned from my
joyous walk with the Lord.
An epidemic of violence is sweeping the country: musicians are
being murdered onstage in the middle of their sets by members of
their audience. Are these random copycat killings, or is something
more sinister at work? Has music itself become corrupted in a
culture where everything is available, everybody is a 'creative,'
and attention spans have dwindled to nothing? With its cast of
ambitious bands, yearning fans, and enigmatic killers, Destroy All
Monsters tells a haunted and romantic story of overdue endings and
unlikely beginnings that will resonate with anybody who's ever
loved rock and roll. Like a classic vinyl single, Destroy All
Monsters has two sides, which can be read in either order. At the
heart of Side A, "My Dark Ages," is Xenie, a young woman who is
repulsed by the violence of the epidemic but who still finds
herself drawn deeper into the mystery. Side B, 'Kill City,' follows
an alternate history, featuring familiar characters in surprising
roles, and burrows deeper into the methods and motivations of the
murderers.
