7. We came pretty close to revolution during the Great Depression.
If Roosevelt hadn't implemented his policies, our country might look very different now.
The scary thing is that I've talked to a number of Republicans who think it would be a good idea to have another Great Depression. These people scare me. They've glorified one of the worst disasters that has ever occurred in this country into something desirable to be longed for.
I have a feeling that a revolution would follow an economic depression of that magnitude in today's world. People are a lot different now than they used to be. Some of these narrow minded idiots would get a BIG surprise if their longing turned to reality.
