2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)21. Most Americans think of the American Revolution when hearing the word, we had a Revolution that
brought this country independence. We were birthed in revolutionary war and founded by revolutionaries. You call this distasteful, American history and culture? The word revolution is part of the American lexicon because we are a revolutionary country so we have sexual revolutions and Prince and the Revolution (insulting to survivors!!!) and what good's the Industrial without the Revolution?
Your affectation that the very word 'revolution' should not be spoken is basically silly as all get out. A real stretch and someone needs to tell you that it does not play at all. Go back to the well, try again.

The word has many meanings and don't even try to pretend that it doesn't.
