The queen looks like she's thinking: "There's serious things to be concerned about".

All the polliticians are like: "Yay the queen!"

Would the world be a better place with them alive or dead. What is worrying is one needs to think on that, yet if it was a picture of working class man the answer would be given in a heartbeat.

It wouldn't help. The history of revolution shows that getting rid of one set of rulers just results in a new, equally dreadful, set replacing them. Its the system that needs changing not the people at the top.

Revolution is about changing systems. Changing leaders is just window dressing.

Sadly - and contrary to many of their actions and words - they inhabit the same planet as I.

Ok, but that means there's never been a revolution yet. We've just had leadership changes.

The civil war changed the leadership for only a very few years and certainly didn't change the system so, according to Steve's definition, no revolution.
