The beauty of revolution!!

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion." -Thomas Jefferson

Oh how we decide to shape our society today. Everything must be "politically correct" so we don't offend anyone. Well personally, I'm sick of it. Maybe every twenty years is a little too much but think of it. I'm sure teh Reformation offended the Roman Catholic church. The American Revolution definitely offended the British. The Civil Rights movement offended whites and the women's liberation movement was definitely not what alot of men wanted to see happen. But did that stop them? I don't think so. We're not speaking in British accents are we? We don't have to pay reparations anymore do we? There are things in the world that need to be abolished and without a little revolution every now and then how is anything going to get changed?
Amy brought abortion the other day and I completely agree with her. Abortion is murder. Why are those of us who believe that letting it happen? I can't see us letting babies who had just come out of their mother be killed so why is this any different? Where is our revolution? Where is the passion that drove our parents and grandparents in the 60's and 70's to revolt and fight until they got what they wanted? Where is the drive that our ancestors had? Have we become so complacent that we will be the first generation to change nothing? I can't help but think our ancestors would be disappointed. We are the generation of talkers and thinkers, but not actors. Let's change that. Let's revolt!
