junius,
i mostly agree with you in that an [armed] revolution would be a last resort.
here is the revolution that i am speaking of today.
1. cut up all credit cards. get a debit card through a local credit union or small town bank.
2. boycott all products made by slave labor in foreign countries (or in the u.s.)
3. work in your community to raise consciousness as to the overthrow of the constitutional republic if the u.s.a.
4. get rid of your cell phone.
5. if you are invested in the stock market, sell your entire portfolio and refuse to invest another dime.
6.boycott sponsors of radio and television news and talk shows that continue to spread propaganda and refuse to face the truth.
7. stop believing the lie.
8. etc.
