Observed from outer space, the United States is in a revolutionary turmoil. Fires are burning, thousands of people are confronting police and other security forces. There are barricades, banners, posters, and there is rage.
Rage is well justified. Grievances run deep, through the veins of a confused and socially insecure population, in both cities and the countryside. Minorities feel and actually are oppressed. Indeed they have been disgracefully oppressed, since the birth of the country, over two centuries ago (see my latest report carried by NEO).
There are some correct words uttered and written; many appropriate sentiments are expressed.
And yet, and yet It looks like a revolution, it feels like a revolution, but it is not a revolution. It definitely is not! Why?
