Revolution? Hmmmmm, wishful thinking.\nI wish I knew the answer to this one. I think that our (UK) society has to take a giant evolutionary leap and realise that actually, the royals are not all that great and that their vast wealth could be redistributed to make better schools, hospitals, public transport.\nIs it going to happen? That's another question....

This country like any other has it's problems.  But America is like no other place in the world.  We have freedoms here that others can only dream about.  We have the will and strength to over come anything.  This country needs a strong moral center which it seems to be lacking on the west and east coasts.  There are the exceptions to that comment but most of the really liberal,(freedom w/o restrictions or consequences) crowd seem to live there.  I think we need to overhaul our social security system, our tax system and our education system.  If we take care of these basics then i believe we will be back at the top of the world in no time @ all.

The only thing revolution accomplishes is more revolution. This attitude has created tremendous instability in every country that has experienced revolution, the US included. Here, we formed a new country. France, so many others, go through endless uprisings...not a good idea. Voting, Free speach, Free press are the safest, perhaps slowest, but certainly the safest measure. Revolution means: death to many, prison for many, and terror for most. All this for an unsure future that will be toppled again and again. Not very smart.

Eventually?  I believe this has already occurred.  Those who think Americans live in a democracy are sorely mistaken.  There are two main forces that currently control America: The conservative corporations and the liberal media.  (Neither of those statements are intended to be a negative judgment on either group).  Those two groups are the ones with the money, and the power.\n\nI'm not sour about that.  But I do think that anyone who thinks that every person has a say is fooling themselves.  Both of these groups, over time, have gotten very good at positioning their message so that the majority of people will vote for their candidate.

Should be..but even if we had adopted a new government...if people in the position will stay the way they used to, probably we'll remain the same...We are yearning for better. What president and all the government officials are promising to us, never happened in reality. I don't want to expect too much from this country. Everything should be in a new form by now but seeing it with my own eyes, as much as possible I want to be realistic--and this is the reality.

America no longer has a balanced government.  We have a unitary executive who modifies laws at will via signing statements and bizarre interpretations.  The real test will be to see what happens in 2008.

Political, social and cultural change is inevitable. With the current state of affairs, I expect our country to gradually slide into a third world type existence and possibly loose parts of the southwest to Mexico or an independent Latino nation (as intended by some of the immigration protesters). \n\nAn electromagnetic pulse, a nuclear detonation in Washington DC, a major disruption of oil supplies or a radical Democrat and and completely democratically controlled legislative branch (just kidding!) would most likely spell the end for our society as we know it.\n\nNothing is forever.

While our country falls apart and the american dream becomes more dissolved. Our forefathers would be ashamed of our current government. The great USA is becoming more like communist Russia and communist Germany. We are no longer free. Our freedoms are being infringed upon. The very thing our Government says its fighting, they are inflicting on the american people. There is no representation and Americans were not asked if we agreed with this spying. Power is corruptive and the checks and balances have not stopped corruptions. I am appauled that our government in fear of terrorism has been coerced to change the way we live forever. There has always been terrorism, look at Adolph Hitler, Mousilini, and more, but in all these times what made America different was democracy, we had a choice. We now have no choice in our freedom and big govrnment is making decisions not for the people but against the people. Are we truly free? I think not.

Revolutions usually have some kind of organized political power behind them (a party or an organized group of people with a political agenda). Events in France can affect the results of elections next year, but I believe there will be no disruption in a democratic process

Yes, there is or at least will be. On our American dollar bill it says, "Novus Ordo Seclorum" which means "New World Order". That's proof enough for me.

No. If we continue on in this manner we are doomed to self destruct and become a second world country. The number one problem with the American people is that we for some reason think that only people who have never struggled to make it understand the needs of the other 85% of Americans.

Not yet.  We will be once our demands outstrip our resources.  Then it will be like the Dark Ages in Europe when many will die from pestilence and war.  After that, there will be more resources available per person than there has been in a long time.  There will be what can only be considered a new Renaissance.

That is the best thing I have heard in a long time. Unfortunately some nut ball leftist will try and have it overturned. Until every Town, City and State decides that Yes, we will obey the laws of the land and prosecute and penalize anyone that assists any criminal activity, we will continue to be infested with crime and leaches. I truly hope that we can end this criminalization of our civilized society (what's left of it) and then once again become the Proud Patriotic law abiding citizens that the great UNITED STATES OF AMERICA stands for.

No, the belief systems are too different. New parties might emerge, but I don't think we will have a unified America when it comes to political beliefs.

First you must know that America is not the last great anything\nThere are many countries like China and Russia who are sleeping giants, just because they do not wave thier weapons around and command obediance does not mean that they are not superpowers of the world.\nAnd yes we are next........\nNot because the American people are bad, but because we have allowed our government to accquire to much power, both here at home and around the world.\nbut the downfall will be of our own doing, not by the military might of another. The corruption and greed we see today in our government is nothing in comparison to the apathy of the American public, though there is hope..............\nConstitutional Convention....\n"We the People" of the United States, must stand up and take back our country and our freedoms, if we as a society allow our government to continue on its path the innocent will surely suffer more than they already have.\nWe must re-take control of our political system, oust the corrupt and the greedy and re-write our constitution, only in this way will we be able to right what has been wronged, and repair our society, but there is a trick, the only way to do this succesfully is to vote..........\nVote, Vote, Vote........................\nVote for a Constitutional convention\n\nKeep an eye out for an e-book called\n"How to start a revolution?"\n\nIt is a writing intended to show every one on earth that peace can be achieved, and without force! It also puts forth many good points on why we should have a constitutional convention, how we could go about it and what it would achieve if "We the People"\njoin together and truly work as United States.\n\nIf these steps are not taken and the cycle of history is ignored yet again it will not be long before we are brought to our knees, and i will not stand by and watch as something i love is destroyed by those who would claim to be protecting it....................\n\nPeace to all,........ now more than ever........
