revolution |ˌrevəˈloō sh ən| - a forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system.
For the sake of argument, lets say you woke up today to find that the constitution has been suspended indefinitely. Those that have do so explain to the people that America must take 2 steps back in order to take 10 steps forward as the rationale for their actions. The philosophy being that 'you can't fix a car while its running'.
Put yourself on both ends of the spectrum. If you as the President, absolutely had to suspend freedoms in order to save us from ourselves, why would you do it and what are your motives? Even if you mean no harm, and intentions are genuinely honorable.
As the citizen who has awoken to this news on CNN, what would you do? Would this pull Americans from their couches into the streets? Are 21st century American capable of true revolution (not faxes, or disgruntled emails) or would we cooperate if let to understand its truly for the better good.
