Choose a new title for this piece Umair. Revolution is a spectacularly bad idea/enterprise. Use a little historical review before you cite the French Revolution, in case you have forgotten, that one, like the Russian Revolution and the Maoist Revolution and the Cambodian Revolution turned out horribly. Our Revolutionary War was a war of independence, not a revolution, preserving the institutions of self rule that the Colonies had developed over a couple of centuries. Busting things up is a typical juvenile response to frustration, it’s so much easier to demolish what someone else has built than to build something better. I can hire unskilled teens for demolition (if I’m cheap and foolish) I have to hire skilled professionals to build a decent replacement for the demolished structure.
