Ah, 'continuity'....and NO changes.....countable or uncountable....
The more I think on it, the more I think revolutions or evolutions in 'other' countries are nice, but not sufficient...only the MOTHER of all revolutions [in the only super-power around] now will do....all else will follow naturally, as night follows day..... We are in a VERY ugly period in history. It is not the first time humanity has been here...but each time it has before the consequences were genocide on monumental proportions and enslavement for the rest [minus the few in Power]. With the advance (sic) of technology and weaponry...I fear this current situation could well be humanities last....not this week or this year....but in the next few years....tops..... unless things change 180 degrees on the part of the Plebs. The would-be rulers/Oligarchs/Pharaohs/Corporatists/fascists/Emperors/dictators, etc. be damned. Humanity faces a fork in the road of history, IMO....one fork leads to an end of homo sapiens (sic); the other road is rocky, but offers some hope of a return to our Natural wisdom. May I suggest the great book by Rene Eisler called The Chalice and the Blade.
