The Revolution

I carry around the Bain action figure in my pocket at work.  It's a symbol of revolution and change.  That I'm not trapped in the system.  That there is a way out.

Not one that needs include a nuclear bomb, but the metaphor is appropriate.

Change can happen.  This country was born from a bloody, violent revolution.  We needn't discard this idea; perhaps we need embrace its metaphor.

Maybe we all need to read Karl Marx.  When I first read Marx for a history theory class, I told my professor that his writing really excited me.  I felt inspired run out and buy a gun.  He stared at me blankly.
