i think the optimism in your last paragraph is exactly why we're never going to revolt again. early on, the american revolution took place because it was all white dudes from roughly the same area. we're too diverse to act as one anymore, which is what, i think, is going to be our downfall.

kind of like rome.

ah, and i know you're not as into rap as i am, but check this band out. they're the reason Rage Against the Machine exists.

the lyrics under the "More" heading are what make it great. it's basically what you're saying.

You are exactly right, but honestly as absurd as it sounds I believe that the powers that be use that at a lever to bend and shape its people as they please. Its not that they just flip a switch per say to allow gays or blacks to win lawsuits over whites or they just all of a sudden start puting more emphasis on one race or gender or sexual orientation. However if the powers that be start letting minority interest only programs and ideals become painfully abrassive and apparent to those that are excluded then there is something to hate. Its not hard to drive a wedge.

This may sound crazy but if a few charismatic and intelligent men and women start recruiting members of all nationalities for the same idea and start a propaganda campaign against the rich and greed ridden government it would be the start to a beautiful thing.

If this is poppy cock then I understand I think that fighting the power is a hard concept to swallow, but if you have input or something to share on the subject Holla back.

Peace.
