Rich and powerful people will never accept even the most of the "slower pace of experimentations". Nothing of value was obtained without blood, unfortunately

"Nothing of value was obtained without blood, unfortunately"

That's a pretty big statement and completely false. Every single day things of great value are obtained without blood.

One thing people could do to change things politically is not to comply collectively, pressure the government via social media, protest peacefully and firmly etc.

funny thing about NEVER...we would never had Magna Carta without believing the commoner could over come this

King John was turned around..so can rich people be turned around...not all revolutions are fast and violent

some are slow and very subtle

The American revolution was led by rich and powerful people.

Had the chance to live a few years in western Europe and I was shocked at the servility of the European institutions to the American interests.

In Europe nobody dares to criticize clearly and openly the ways of the US, not even the communists. No wonder Obama was a huge hit in Europe. Perhaps this explains why most Americans think of Europeans as a spineless and weak

I'm not leftist at all but I have to admit that Chavez had more balls than the whole western Europe

I don't think we need evidence, it's like common knowledge. Medicine, engineering or CS students don't have really time to party around like the art history, journalism and liberal studies folks do.

That is the cliche that I learned in college too, but it seems to be true. Could it be that history and business majors are the smart one because they still do lots of hard work (like 'us' math people) but do it fast enough to party a lot? Yeah, no.
