London riots

What occurs to me observing the London riots on the news is this: the same thing can happen here. Anger, frustration, powerlessness fill this country as much as fill England. Fill Europe, fill the Middle East. I'm also reminded that during the American Revolution, mobs ransacked the homes of British officials, riots now given praise by the mythology of the winners. I didn't used to think that an actual violent revolution was possible in this country in "modern times". I've changed my mind.

I'm dealing with these same themes in my current project. Life comes from whole cloth.
