As in "Animal House", the semi-revolution is no more that rearranging the deck chairs and no revolution at all...

But a "complete revolution", at least as we know them from history (think 1918 Russia, for instance) is no longer possible in the countries where it is needed the most, like the US... The so-called revolutions in 3rd world countries are really the semi variety... We don't see much difference after the genocides than before them...

I think what the US is facing is an attempted semi-revolution by TV commentarors who really know nuthin' about governance, urban planning or the ins and outs of how to get the day-to-day mondane things to work properly... Yes, these people may think that "if only" they had the power then things would be better... Not so... Our society is too modern for them to make a difference...

So given that they really know nuthing about governance or planning or the nuts'n bolts of running a city or county what we would have is even worse than what we had with Bush... I mean, I hate to say it but George Bush was much better qualified to run the show than Glen Beck... Yet it is the Glen Becks who think they have all the answers...

I donno...

Yeah, we need a revolution but maybe we can pull, it off peacefully with a better education... It's obvious that our educational sysytem has not produced a population that understands "critical thinking" and therefore is vulnerable to zealots and strict ideologues... Mush like the horses in "Animal Farm"...

So, I guess, the revolution we need is the restoration of "critical thinking" in our school system... That's a good first step...
