Uprisings are notoriously difficult to predict. They seem to erupt somewhat spontaneously. Look at how quickly East Germany toppled. No one, not even the East German border guards, foresaw that. Two friends of mine, employed by television networks, one American, the other Canadian, had to race to Berlin to cover the story.

Read Crane Brinton's "The Anatomy of Revolution." Revolt is almost invariably a middle class institution. It's the stuff of artisans, intellectuals, professionals and not peasants, at least not initially.<br /><br />@ Richard.

Right now Americans are slipping into second world conditions. Once that has been completed, it maybe too late. On the other hand, we may see the rise of unions once again.<br /><br />americans only have themselves to blame. they continued to vote for people who did not have their interests in mind, let alone their heart. Much can be accomplished at a state level, however, here there has only been changes to make life more difficult for the poor. '''there is actually little hope for the U.S.A.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.com
