I'm not one of those hypocrites who believes that our nation's founding revolution was heroic and just, while any present-day revolution would be the opposite. Violent revolution can certainly be moral, even today, even here. But are you going to risk death for it? I'm not. Food and shelter abound. Our poor are obese. Entertainment is plentiful. How many are really at the point of mortal action? Too few, I imagine.
