...The one factor that always results in some sort of revelolution........"food". If people can't eat, they get desperate and are willing to die against whatever government they have (thats why no counter revlolution occured in Russia...Lenin was smart enough to keep people fed). And that's what scares me sometimes here in the USA. You have a political party that thinks ideaology will trump growling stomachs. History has yet to show where this has worked....but then again, history has show that the majority of the wealthy can be....for a lack of a better term....stupid.
