Revolutionary thoughts.

I wonder why there aren't more revolutions in the world. Maybe it's that people don't get mad enough. Or they are just plain lazy. Too hard to overthrow a government. Takes genuine effort. Some risk, too. Some revolutionaries are put in jail. Or even killed. But the rewards can be bountiful. Look at Fidel Castro's revolution in Cuba, more than 50 years ago. And there Castro is. Still in power. And admired. At least in Cuba. If not in the USA. I like old-fashioned revolutions. Like the Bolshevik Revolution. And the French Revolution. And the American Revolution. I like to see people becoming untamed and taking to the streets. Getting caught up in the fervor of a revolution. I'm of the mind that we need a really volatile revolution here in America again.To overthrow the revolutionary ideals of our founding fathers. Yes, let's correct their wrongs. Let's make for a new America. Let's make it the grandest revolution of all time. By overthrowing capitalism. In favor of the common good. --Jim Broede
