'Long live the revolution!'
I always tend to like the up and coming generation. Young people. Often those rabblerousers on college campuses. Seems to me that change is beginning to happen in conservative Iran. Because university students are taking to the streets. Protesting the last election. Because they think it was rigged. I've advocated something similar in the U.S. Mass insurrection. Marches on Washington. To give power to the people. Rather than to corporations. We ordinary Americans are being deprived of universal health care simply because private insurance companies want to keep raking in exorbitant, obscene profits. We need a public option. But won't get it. Because unlike in Iran, we have yet to take to the streets. When we do, the revolution will be on. Let's go, young folks. Let's overthrow the ruling hierarchy. I'll be one old man out on the barricades with you, shouting 'Long live the revolution!' --Jim Broede

The Smith Act of 1940 is a United States federal statute that makes it a criminal offense for anyone to
“ knowingly or willfully advocate, abet, advise or teach the duty, necessity, desirability or propriety of overthrowing the Government of the United States or of any State by force or violence, or for anyone to organize any association which teaches, advises or encourages such an overthrow, or for anyone to become a member of or to affiliate with any such association."
Just so ya know.

You'd better tell that to the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party. Some of 'em are advovating a coup d'etat. Military intervention by generals. To oust Obama. Of course, the more peaceful element of the lunatic fringe would settle for secession. --Jim
By the way, we've already had an overthrow of our government. By the oligarchs. Let's toss 'em in jail and reestablish legitimate government of the people. --Jim
