Is getting closer. When will it come? You thought it had happened? Sadly not. That thing back in 1776 or whenever was a war of independence but not a revolution. Rich Americans grabbing control from rich Brits does not make a revolution. The rich are still firmly in control and getting more ruthless exploitative and even richer. But - they are a tiny minority and if sensible people get together it should be a breeze. Being American it will of course be violent but that aspect fades with time and in any event if enough join in the thing might be a walkover - think Tunisia not Libya.
As Leonard Cohen sings: "Democracy is coming - to the USA" It will make great TV.
