These justifications are not only unacceptable, they&amp;rsquo;re also lies. The dominant culture is driven by neither Democratic or Christian values which it pays so much lip service to.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Democracy and Christianity are frameworks for creating equality among people, in theory. In practice the dominant forms of Democracy and Christianity have been co-opted by the powerful to serve as tools that concentrate wealth and power to reward themselves and punish everyone else.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
