You lost me there. Isn't revolution the exact opposite of consistency, the very reason for having a revolution in the first place?

revolution is dead
we have been bought and sold
our gov sold our future to asia and all we needed in return was wholesale pricing. keep churning out cheap plastic crap for us to drool over and play with.
while iran and burma are using technological access to show the free world whats going on in thier culture we chp them up into viral videos we pass around to eachother like "sucks to be you" dude.
instead of interacting with it our idealistic youth are slappin on headsets so they dont have to get off thier fat spoiled ass's to play xbox at thier friends house.if we are ever invaded the weapon wont be guns or bombs it will be free milkshakes and new toys

Based on you response, I'd say the new weapon is the written word, or is that the old weapon?

its believed our government (America) is at best deceptive I hate to play devils advocate but there's a method to the madness.
"deception does not equal good" perhaps it's better to guess at the unknown and not realize it. ambiguity could be a morale enabler. to explain... I fear the true state of our union would cause disenfranchised citizens. we all are interdependent, if this were to occur our hope for (change/salvage) will begin to truly die. The nations identity is at stake regarding how we see ourselves and the future we CAN create as well as the future we WISH to create.
It is a true terror to realize also that those we are putting in charge of the country are not compensated for being leaders but instead are chosen by ability to appear as a leader.
That isn't to say that some reps do good now and then. sadly any good is often undone by interests or are countermanded by changing political hierarchy such as the waxing-waning of progressive and regressive representatives.
we have 2 issues to resolve. church and state.. corporation and state
but both have not only huge influence, but inscrutable influence.

I've seen world domination as the ultimate game of chess since i was young, but now as I approach my 30s i find it pointless, after all a life time spent acquiring the world leaves no time to really enjoy it. but so many cant seem to see this reality

I already rule the world. It's just that no one knows it. But that's why I can do it.

It is so hard to tell who is who in this world of astroturfing, but it is probably worth digging into the foroureconomy crowd. At first glance they seem to be a mix of old school Ron Paul tea partiers (pre-tea bag days) and a crowd from the left too.
Encouraging, a move away from the party of "no" which sounds good any day of the week.

This link was sent to me by Heathcare Now, a progressive organization. They say the bank reform movement is shaping up like the health care movement did. So I take this as meaning we may see protests and town halls around the country this summer.
The amazing thing about bank reform is that progressives and conservative agree and are on the same side. There may be a few differences about how to go about reform, but both sides are for it.

It is really weird, at first it looks like a tea-party, and now I am not sure. Every thing they is true, but exactly what stand up means is a little hazy still.

Maybe you have no idea what a tea-party is except what MSNBC told you it was.
