The only choice is whether America will work with revolutionaries to achieve a more orderly and equitable society, or whether Washington will work to try to cap the upheavals until the pressures builds again (temptations of the Luxury of Power) to blow the society apart with even greater force.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
