Possibly you are right - you are the realist, more worldly than myself, undoubtedly.
Revolution is a word that is being bandied about rather a lot recently. If the traditional methods don't work then that is the inevitable conclusion, though I've honestly always believed that our democracy was too grown-up, no, "evolved" for that.
I am quite an idealist though so maybe I'll be proved wrong and you will turn out to be right.
Don't be too world-weary though A-b, you're not quite at the age of resignation yet...
