Sure, but the revolution gives an opportunity to break into govt buildings and destroy things!
Vive la revolution!
I'm all for a bit of smashing stuff up.
The reality of this is that the federal government is probably far more restricted in it's actions by the workings of the US Constitution and the Supreme Court than the UK government. The erosion of civil liberties under the Bliar government was astonishing, detention without trial for 42 days, RIPA and councils spying on people to ensure they live in the correct area for the school they want their children to go to. Changing the structure of the judicial system itself in order to make it more government friendly, all under the banner of bringing it up to date. All from a UK government that lied openly in parliament in order to take us into an illegal war in Iraq so that Tony Bliar could cement his place in history.
It sure ain't the US government that worries me
