Civil Society, not Democracy
If living in Korea has taught me anything, it is that so-called Democracy, so touted in my homeland, ain't all it's cracked up to be. Democracy can easily descend into Mobocracy, as we read in Fareed Zakaria's The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad. The Granola Conservative, in Away From Democracy, Toward Civil Society, successfully lumps so-called Democracy with "totalitarianism, communism, [and] fascism' in opposition to the Civil Society.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
