style="font-size: 12pt;">Revolution becomes necessary when the
ruling classes fail in their duty to lead. Most of the major
modern political
revolutions occurred at moments when the world was changing rapidly --
and the
country's leaders dealt with it by dropping back into denial and
clinging
defiantly to the old, profitable, and familiar status quo. New
technologies,
new ideas, and new economic opportunities were emerging; and there came
a time
when ignoring them was no longer an option. When the leaders
failed to step
forward boldly to lead their people through the looming and necessary
transformations, the people rebelled.<o:p></o:p></span></small></small></font></small><span

pollution are
forcing us to reconsider the very way we occupy the world, altering our
relationship
to food, water, air, soil, energy, and each other. The transition
off
carbon-based fuels and away from non-recyclable goods is going to
re-structure
our entire economy. Computers are still creating social and
business transformations;
biotech and nanotech will only accelerate that. More and more
people in the
industrialised world are feeling a spiritual void, and coming to
believe that
moving away from consumerism and toward community may be an important
step in
recovering that nameless thing they've lost.<o:p></o:p></span></small></small></font></small><span

Liberal critics have seen coming for years, as

Good-paying jobs went offshore. Domestic investments in

there's uneven sentencing,
where some people get the maximum and others get cut loose without
penalty -
and neither outcome has any connection to the actual circumstances of
the crime
(though it often correlates all too closely with race, class, and the
ability
to afford a good lawyer). <br>
<br>
Unchecked police brutality (tasers, for example) that
hardens public perception against the constabulary. Unwarranted
police
surveillance and legal harassment of law-abiding citizens going about
their
business. Different kinds of law enforcement for different
neighbourhoods. The
use of government force to silence critics. And let's not forget
the
unconstitutional restriction of free speech and free assembly rights.<br>
<br>
Abroad, there's the misuse of military force, which forces the country
to pour its blood and treasure into misadventures that offer no clear
advantage for the nation. These misadventures not only reduce the
country's international prestige and contribute to economic declines;
they often create a class of displaced soldiers who return home with
both the skills and the motivation to turn political unrest into a
full-fledged shooting war.<br>
<br>
This kind of capricious, irrational ineptitude in deploying government
force leads to <span
style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">public
contempt for the power of the state</span>, and leads the governed to <big
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;">withdraw
their consent.</big> And, eventually, it also raises people's
determination to <big
style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">stand
together to oppose state power</big>. That growing solidarity and
fearlessness - along with the resigned knowledge that equal-opportunity
goons will brutalise loyalists and rebels alike, so you might as well
be a dead lion rather than a live lamb -- is the final factor that
catalyses ordinary citizens into ready and willing revolutionaries.</span></small></small></small></small></font></small></small></small><span

really been looking forward to blending the thing properly, and I’d
bought some

banana, plus a

didn't
work. it seems to froth everything below (yes, i added some oat
milk
to make
more of a liquid) but all the bigger stuff (like a whole tomato and the
lettuce) just stay at the top; tomorrow I must check
whether the
blender actually creates a current which, if I left it on long
enuff,
would eventually blend the whole lot. or whether it will just go
on till the bottom layer is pure froth. as it was, the eventual
meal had crunchy bits and blobs and I wasn’t nuts

it. on the other hand, do i <span style="font-style: italic;">want

today, the <span style="font-family: Arial Black;">14th day,</span> i
drank the full gloop straight from
the blender while following some hot news on tv. took 5 minutes
where a meal would have taken an hour. and i rather liked
it. <br>
<br>
and shall unquestionably do this AT LEAST 2 nights per
week. <big><span style="font-weight: bold;">why on earth not?!</span></big>
u can add any spices or tastes you
like and just drink it down in 2 minutes, with bread and butter or
whatever turns you on.<br>
<br>
and another night i'll have it as a soup. tonight, for example, i
added the gloop to a stock from boiling up some beef bits for the dog,
it's cold out there and a good chicken soup seems about right, yet all
the content was almost raw and stuffed with goodness right?<br>
<br>
and the smoothies are starting to replace my regular teas or
coffees. i make up enough for a couple of glasses each day and
spontaneously buy fruit as i pass.<br>

was sitting there all this time :) we get so habituated to our

started and then, by the time that's run out, you'll have found your
own balance with the raw issue.<br>

British culture, all before he could become British. If people like

half a century in which neither a sitting president nor a sitting vice
president is vying for major-party nomination, lending the contests a
rare fluidity. Moreover, Mr. Bush’s sheer unpopularity precludes
him from dominating his party, as presidents traditionally do.
For the same reason, no Republicans dare run openly as Mr. Bush’s heir.</span><span

style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">conservative Christians</span>, once
the movement’s firmest base, have become politically more
diverse. Pastors like Rick Warren and Bill Hybels are urging the
faithful to look beyond abortion and gay marriage to issues like global
warming and poverty. And despite Mr. Dobson’s threats of a
boycott, nearly a third of evangelical Republicans voted for Mr. McCain
on Tuesday.</span><br style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">

style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">grass-roots Democrats</span> have
made aggressive use of online organizing and fund-raising techniques to
decentralize their own party and break the monopoly the wealthy once
had on political cash. Measured by membership and fund-raising,
for example, <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">MoveOn.org</span>
is now one of the largest and most active constituency groups within
the party. And judging from fund-raising figures after last
Tuesday, it appears that Mrs. Clinton has in a sense been hurt by her
reliance on an old-fashioned network of deep-pocketed donors, many of
whom have already reached the legal maximum. Mr. Obama, by
contrast, has raised smaller amounts from a larger number of
contributors, so he can go back to many of them for money now, when he
needs it most.</span><br
