A Revolution?

As with most revolutions in history, presently there is a long-awaited revolution occurring in our country - and around the world - against greed, corporate and government corruption, discrimination (on all levels), eroding personal rights and income inequality.
At present, the revolution is organized as demonstrations and - other one recorded death in the USA and possibly several injuries resulting from pepper spray and infrequent (but ever-present possibility of) police brutality - is essentially non-violent.  Granted, however, that there will always be troublemakers that will put the entire demonstration group in harm's way.

The current opposition to the status  quo of excessive executive bonuses of so-called public corporations, as shown by the recent Citibank stockholder vote against excessive executive bonuses, is an important step of a revolution that will possibly evolve into a full-scale conflict as opposition to change and resulting frustrations increases.

Here's a video from MSNBC taken at the very start of the Occupy Movement in the USA - can you see where this is may be going?
