My original post specifically mentioned a Lambourghini and a yacht. And that's the problem isn't it, that some people have those things and others do not. At least here in USA there aren't people starving and everyone owns shoes. Virtually everyone has had the opportunity to learn to read, and they aren't going to die in front of a hospital. Here most people have a lot to lose. There aren't militias drilling on every village green, or mass meeting of radical societies. All of the revolution talk is exactly that. Talk. We have a whole lot of guns here, but the vast majority of them are in the hands of the right, and most of the others are in the hands of the police, military, private security, and criminals.

It's funny, but the Arab Spring in Egypt went very much the way of the French Revolution didn't it? They ended up with a general as an emperor. The Arab Spring in Syria and Libya, where people did decide to fight, wrecked both countries and left them with what? Mass graves and scores to settle forever.
