You do realize that the entire goal of a revolution is to change things for the better, right? That is exactly what revolution means, to revolt against an oppressive, harmful government and establish a new, better form... With the current corporate-controlled federal US political system, getting anyone into power other than the Demo-Republicrat flavor of the week is virtually impossible. Alternative view points are silenced, as demonstrated by the events leading up the the arrest of Mr. Badnarik and Mr. Nader. Most (US) people aren't even aware that there are other (US) parties than the 2 big evils, and may have just barely heard of Mr. Nader as some ultra-liberal nutcase (which he is, but that is beside the point). Campaign finance reforms, such as eliminating private donations to election campaigns entirely, instead relying on equal funding for all semi-serious candidates, would go a long way to alleviating this problem. However, those in power benefit directly from the f-ed up system currently in place, so will not be very keen to change it on their own. A constitutional amendment would get the will of the people involved, rather than the will of the entrenched elite. However, it has to start with those entrenched elite approving it to be voted on by the people in the first place... The Demo-Republicrats are not going to change the system that benefits them so well. Hence comments about a revolution... While this is not necessarily a very practical solution, it is not just some nutcase wanting to cause chaos and mayhem, as you seem to think it is.

I'm sorry but violent revolts usually just lead to massive civil bloodshed and wars, do you want to turn this country into a Somolia? Afterall who gets to rule the country when the wars are over? Would there even be a country to rule afterall you honestly think our nations enemies (those that COULD reach us) would just sit back and not take advantage of a massive civil war between MULTIPLE factions?

A revolution today would be impossible for soo many reasons that it'd take all day to list them so this revolution talk is not positive it's destructive.

As I said if you want things changed you have to do it peacefully and intelligently or not at all.


Will as I said I love my country does that mean my government.....heck no but revolution would destroy my country and so revolution is not good. Understand now?

There is a difference between going 'the government is not the best thing" for an American citizen but when foreigners spend their time knocking our government instead of cirticizing their own it just makes no sense to me.
Afterall the problems i have with my government make sense for me but do you see me out there going "UK SUCKS your all idiots"? NO because even if the citizens of the UK thought it sucked (which it doesn't I'm just using an example so don't even start in on this) it's not my place to judge their entire country based on a few old men in power.
