    Can we do it?

    Libya is under pressure.

    What can you or I do to start a revolution in your country?

    There are more people anywhere than anyone can make sense of.

    If there was or is ever a time to seize the day then it is now.

    What are WE going to do about it?

    If I(we) lived under the conditions that the people of Libya live under then yes I'd be all for revolution, but I don't.....so I really don't see the need for one.

    What kinda revolution could we all agree upon?

    Even if there was a revolution in the United States, we'd end up in the same left vs right, red vs blue fights over our demands and new system.

    Revolutions are a lot easier when there is a common enemy and goal (to get rid of that enemy)

    One that involves the current government and their army of police to fuck off and leave people to live their lives how THEY want.

    It will be a problematic transition but if we don't do it now then we never will..

    I think we can all agree that

    .The fed needs one hell of a shake up if not a dismantle
    .Alot of post 9/11 security laws need to be takin away
    .And are pool of paloticians needs to be refirbished with paloticians without corperate ties.

    I'm sure there might be many more things that most Americans agree on aswell. But were to lazy as a people to get out on the streets and do something.. But the reasons to do so are there.

    Fantastic Idea! Let's all start by making a list of minor changes that everyone can agree upon. After that we can start working on listing the major changes. Once we finish, we all get off our asses and march on washington. No sarcasm, no hating. If someone has a major problem with something, it's off the list. We've got to find some common ground instead of just arguing and bitching all the time

    Good idea. I am not sure where to start with the changes I would like to see....

    campaign contributions, for one. I don't think corporate contributions should be legal. That is a huge contributor to government corruption right there.

    As long as we aren't as violent as they are in Libya...I think we need to set examples of peaceful protests/rallies, just like in the 60s.

    To start a revolution you would have to first destroy every Americans T.V., cancel every magazine and news paper subscription then garbage can all the radios.

    Then you may wake up the zombies and let them know what's up.
