We aren't revolutionary anymore.

Apparently, the polls are showing that we Americans are becoming more and more disenchanted with government. Especially the federal government. And the distaste seems to apply to Democrats and Republicans alike. So, what are we gonna do about it? We'll probably defeat some incumbents from both political parties. But we'll still elect Democrats and Republicans to replace 'em. Seems sort of self-defeating. We end up electing more of the same old same old. We fool ourselves into thinking that new faces will bring change. No, it won't. The system will remain essentially the same. Change won't come until we change the system. That's gonna take a revolution. And the last time that happened here was in 1776. Since then, we've gone rotten. We don't know how to operate/conduct a revolution anymore. --Jim Broede
