"The remedy for what ails our democracy is not simply better education (as important as that is) or civic education (as important as that can be), but the re-establishment of a genuine democratic discourse in which individuals can participate in a meaningful way - a conversation of democracy in which meritorious ideas and opinions from individuals do, in fact, evoke a meaningful response." And I can just hear his droning voice saying this...I am getting sleepy, very sleepy....

I am trying to imagine the mental state of anyone who could read that book with any enjoyment, or who could read that book without screaming and throwing it across the room. Such prose could be used to torture terrorists and force them to reveal their secrets.
