On the R (revolution) word, (needs repeating)
I am truly cognizant that the r word does not include guillotines regularly. In fact this country has a peaceful revolution every so often. The New Deal WAS a revolution, so was the civil right movement and the Reagan revolution. I missed the people's committees or people's courts in either of them. Care to point them to me?

Save the Revolution and the civil war our revolutions tend to be mostly peaceful. But those who prevent peaceful revolutions assure the violent kind. I guess I should call President Kennedy comrade for stating the obvious.

P.S. I realize change IS scary. Alas people do not engage in things like OWS unless they mostly feel they got nothing more to lose.
