| Re: already there So, you're saying that if there were massive street protests on the Washington Mall (say 50,000 people), they'd drop a nuke? Do you realize the political implications of doing something so stupid? Sure, you can do it, but the country would quickly come apart at the seams. And what would the rest of the world do if the U.S. government started nuking its own cities?
I wasn't really speaking of armed revolt here, but organized political protest and/or civil disobediance, but as far as overthrowing the most powerful government in the world, it's been done before. It started in 1776. | |

| Re: already there Not likely to happen. In 1776, the resistance had the same weapons and firepower as the British. Today, we have these puny pea-shooters and the government has tanks, nukes, crowd control devices--riot control is down to a science. The People don't have a chance.
Change has to come from philosophical movement. That's just not happening. And it looks like things are going to get much worse. A new Dark Age is probably in our future.
