    and about this revolution thingy -

    how often does reality have to tell the fools that we are right in the middle of 'THE REVOLUTION'

    (even if the label says something completely else) - But you might try to climb out of the bubble and look around and then you might realize the question: 'What would nonviolent revolution in America look like' - already has been answered by millions of Americans, who don't (can't) pay their mortgages and Credit cards anymore -and our 'Revolutionary' of the week is probably

    'The Donald' who just told the Deutsche Bank, that he is unable to pay back a loan of over 600 mill - (Touche!) That is much - much more effective than anything adnoto could dream up -

    And even if the government will socialize all the Banks in the coming year (and a lot of the main industries too) the outcome will look like a REAL REVOLUTION - I promise!
