"We don't want a revolution..."

A good friend reminds me - "We don't want a revolution." As Chairman Mao once said, "Revolution is not a dinner party." We don't want fighting in the streets. We don't want to ratchet up the chaos. We don't want beheadings, car-bombs and herding people into holding tanks.

We don't want to ban people. And build walls. We don't want a Strongman shaking things up. Really.

We might want health-care for all, free college and a more equal society. We might want to end political stalemate, but things can go really wrong, really fast.

Empower a clueless rabble-rouser and see what kind of havoc and malice can be released. That's not the future we want to see. No kidding. Really.
