4. Well if you head over to Colorado, it's now cold enough that we can freeze it solid once more.
Sounds good? ;)

10. I'm not sure I even understand what you're asking.
Do you mean that the words contradict one another?

12. Well... that the concepts contradict one another.
Can a public be hegemonic?

14. Well...
if hegemony means "preponderant influence or authority of one individual or social group over another" (I culled that from Google), then that sounds to me like the situation described by the phrase "tyranny of the majority."

Okay, I am done trying to be clever today. :dunce:

15. I think so.
A hegemon is basically just a culture that maintains its dominance. The public can be dominant and maintain said dominance.
