No I am calling for evolution and civil dissent. If you look at American history, you see that from the declaration that all men are created equal and with inalienable rights to the abolition of slavery there was a long time. It took even longer for women to get voting rights. And it still took more time to end segregation. These gains were all struggles by the people that on occasion were not so peaceful, but they hardly qualify as revolution. At the heart of each of them was the understanding that the system was unacceptable and that it had to change. When sufficient understanding of the flaws of the system is made, politicians are often smart enough to know how not to push it to the edge of revolution and make concessions.
