Change or Exchange?

Change or Exchange?
People like to talk about revolution, but revolution brings change and, truth be told, most Americans don't want change. They want exchange. Most Americans don't want to eliminate the system of haves and have-nots. They just want to be among the haves. Remember the so-called Occupy Wall Street a few years back, when  Americans thought they could have a revolution by popping in after work.

Neither was not protest will mean anything to the PTB. They will watch it all from their safe view from the sky.  The republicans may be assholes, but they're not the PTB. They're law makers and like Meyer Rothschild said "Gove me control over a nation's currency and I don't care who makes the laws." they don't care who the president is or who the next speaker of the house is going to be.

I did a little research and found that we have been in a recession or a depression for almost one third the time we've been a nation starting with the Panic of 1797. . Now that we are no longer a nation of producers but a nation of consumers, we have reached the point where most of us have become too addicted to material comfort to dream of making the sacrifices necessary to true revolution.

so what would a revolution look like under these circumstances?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
