Amazing how we're on the brink of disaster and everyone is still trotting around blindly accepting everything as normal and doing nothing. I think a revolt would be fun. I bet you the people in Egypt are having a field day! Imagine just walking down the street and seeing car... stopping and thinking. Hmmm what could I do to the car that I couldn't do otherwise... I KNOW! I'LL BLOW IT UP!
Okay so sure people are motivated to do something like that and sure people are killed but at least SOMETHING is happening. Unlike here in the USA where people are to lame to desire a better life. Not even that the process of revolution is plain exciting. I get excited just thinking about it. The way I see it, we look at death as a bad thing but in my opinion (I believe in reincarnation which is an amazing way to look at life... if you haven't I suggest you try) when I die I'll just either be reborn when Earth has its # straight or I'll go to some other planet because I'm pretty sure spirits are travelers.

Love and peace are fine for those content to let others do their fighting for them. Yet put an immediate threat in the face of the wannabee-peaceniks -- threaten their lives and/or their existence -- and watch them extend their claws. So preaching 'peace brother' is very 1960s, but it achieved nil in the 60s
Do you really believe Ghandi preached peaceful revolution ? Do you know for sure that that myth wasn't used to quell justifiable revolution for decades and is still used today ? Ghandi was the Dali Lama of his era, and was as owned as the Dali Lama is today
They're terrified of revolution. Terrified. It's the ONLY thing that keeps them partially in check. It's the ONLY thing preventing them from machine-gunning entire populations into the ground
The day we all flop around murmuring ' Peace, brother, peace ' -- is the day they'll really take the gloves off and create the hell on earth they're dying to have
Currently, it's a stalemate. We're only holding our ground due to the fact we remain beyond their complete control
You choose your peaceful revolution, by all means. But don't try to hide behind me when the chips are down ... you just wander out there into the firing line, waving your rainbow flag and smiling .....

After reading this post, I'm pretty sure you got the "your" correct. It's sort of like...
"Dear world,

Obviously you don't understand the true nature of revolution. It is unfortunate there has to be bloodshed but those who died did not die in vain for they died in the act of love. Love for themselves and love for others and even those who did the killing (unconditional love of course). This is because of the bond we hold with each other as the family of Earth. And in my view... there's no better way to die than dyeing for something. Dyeing for a thought, for an idea something that cannot be stopped and spreads like wildfire until... the end
