Revolution
How do we start a revolution? More importantly, do we want a revolution? Do we want a change to the American way of life? Or are we content to complain knowing that complaining is as far as our activist engagement will go? These are the questions that we must ask and ultimately answer. Truthfully, many of us do not have the stomach for revolution or the desire to see real change. The life of American luxury has smothered the voice of resistance and institutionalized revolutionaries. The idea of change has become commodified and is sold to the masses as a bumper sticker not a lifestyle. However, for those who desire revolution they must recognize it is not easy and is not sanctioned by the elite. Revolution requires real sacrifice and an undying love for the people. Revolution is not easy but definitely necessary. To all my comrades in the struggle I say Let's Get Free!

This is so true! It is all so true. Wanting to work within a country that is so comfortable with its lifestyle is hard. I feel as if countries that are growing are more willing to hear new ideas and ways of change. A revolution is needed, but I don't know if it is possible in this country.
