A SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION?

WILL WE BE NEXT? 


Here's an interesting column in re. the possibility of a second


American Revolution. How many people in how many 


countries have said: "IT CAN HAPPEN HERE!" They said it in 


America in the 1770's, in Europe in the 1840's, in Russia in the 


1910's, in Germany in the 1930's, in Cuba in the 1950's, and in 


many other countries throughout the centuries. Let's hope it 


doesn't happen here. Let's hope our representatives in D.C.


don't pass anti-people legislation that brings it about. 


For If it does happen, it might be quickly and brutally put down, 


and our 200+ years of democracy replaced by a military, 


fundamentalist fascism. I hope I'm totally wrong. I don't want my 


children and grandchildren living in a deadly mix of George 


Orwell's "1984" and Margaret Atwood's "A Handmaid's Tale."
