will there ever be a revolution in the united states...?

Question

or will we just wait back and let big business take control of our country? after all, they already control our government.

plhudson, that's the spirit!

arc tangent, you'd be surprised. why do you think bush hasn't been tough on illegal immigration, BIG BUSINESS.

figuring... what is that supposed to mean? of course i'm black, i've always been. however, i am no child.

sassystuff... umm... yeah, you do realize that we weren't exactly the U.S. until after the revolutionary war, right?

Answer 1

not until"we thee people"quit hiding our heads in th sand and decide that the real terrorists are big business.
politicians are given campaign funds and perks by who?special interest groups.made up by who?big business's.
"we the people"are so busy with our own little petty lives that the majority don't really pay attention to whats really happening.the government and law-enforcement are already planning to squash a revolution,look at law enforcement.they look and act like gestapo agents more every day.politicians(both parties)do less for us and more for themselves and rich big business every day.the media reports "the war on drugs","the war on terrorism","the war on home-grown terrorists"which is actually prpeganda to hide the war on Americans.led by big business controled government.
one way to start this revolution is with education.our children should be learning the Constitution,the bill of rights,the amendments.they should be taught about the nazi's and hitlers genocide plan.the u.s. governments plan of genocide against the indigenous people of this land.
it's not just liberalism tearing us apart it's greed. greed for control,power over all.our country has been stolen from us (again) by power hungry,self-serving,rich people who look at us as the means to their ends.i am sorry to say that big business already controls us.only"we the people"can change that,starting with the above mentioned educating of our children as well as ourselves.knowledge is power!power is control!
there's more to it but i will stop here.

You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,

The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.

The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother.

There will be no pictures of you and Willie May

or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
or report from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down

Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the proper occasion.

Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville
Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and
women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock
news and no pictures of hairy armed women
liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb,
Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth.
The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be right back after a message
bbout a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.

bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.

The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.

Answer 3

This may sound a little weird at first, but bear with me. Let's compare this question to terrorism. Al-Qaeda attacked the US for years. They bombed the USS Cole and several of our embassies overseas. But the US did very little in response. It was not until 9-11 that the American people got angry enough to go after them full force.

I think the same is true for what has been going on in the government. Unless there is a big event to trigger action from the American people, there will be no "revolution", be it overthrow of the government or major upheaval through the existing electoral process.

Answer 4

Ottoman padisahs sent Janissary outfits to France to frighten the German assailants interior the border.... that's historic previous. The French kings asked for Turks' help against the Germans and the Ottomans have been busy. hence somewhat of sending troops they sent janissary outfits and the trick worked for the stupid german assailants. The French infantrymen wore the janissary outfits and the Germans thought that Ottomans have been thereabout. HA HA HA .. that's genuinely the fact....

Answer 5

It's doubtful that a successful revolution could occur.

The powers that be would just have to wave flags, play 'God Bless America' and shout 'Be a Patriot'. This will cause tears to flow and hands to be clasped to hearts, following which the would be revolutionaries would return home to festoon their houses with red, white and blue.

Answer 6

No. I don't think this will ever happen, well not in the near future. People are to busy with there day to day lives. We would never be able to organize a front large enough to make a big revolution. There are to many people and not enough of them that are willing to stand up for what they believe in.

Answer 7

I agree we as American citizens should start protest now on health care dental care schooling starving children here in America prostitution and drugs not marijuana home security also poinless war

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
