Guest, this is not a time for personal attack. I'm perfectly willing to hear your reasoning.

Little Hawk, it seems to me that there is another scenario possible.

I keep picturing a nation of haves and have nots, a community of servers and those-to-be-served. As evidence of this, we have several instances now that show an acceptance of that concept, for example, in Vail or Aspen Colorado (I've forgotten which), it has become too expensive for workers to live in town so the powers have built dormitories in town where workers (servers) live during the week and who go to their homes only on their days off.

If that is not the beginning of 'third world' thinking, what is? So maybe the overturning of a society by peaceful means is kind of like putting a frog in cold water and boiling it.

Would a revolution, violent or otherwise, be likely in a case like that?
