What
are the chances of a revolution occuring in your country within the next 50 to 100 years?I couldn't even begin
to speculate. I want to say it's not likely, but of course, that just because I don't want
to think about it. Revolution gets ugly and if I'm not around for 50-100 years, my
relations will be.

Lots can happen in this time frame. Look how
in less than a 100 years we went from horse drawn carriages to walking on the moon.
Growing up I never would have thought that the demolition of the Berlin wall or the end of
the Cold War were even possible. Is a revolution possible? Most definitely. However, if I
were placing bets, I supspect that the development of a fascist state in the US is far
more likely.

Considering Australia is quite a
democartic and peace ful country I don't think that it will had a revolution in the next
50 -100 years.

Depends how much of a revolution you're
looking for. If by revolution you mean 'looting disguised as a riot against injustice'
we're kind of overdue. If you mean some sort of legitimate revolution it probably won't
happen until the next Woodstock which will need to take place in at least 12 different
locations, only then will water venders truly feel the wrath of America.

Probably pretty slim here in the U.S., but
actor LeVar Burton wrote a book called "Aftermath" that's about the events
following a terribly destructive war in the U.S. I really enjoyed the book but I don't
think that will happen anytime soon.

Depends on the revolution. I think the poor
people in the US are going to get sick of being marginalized and organize and cause a
ruckus. I doubt it'll be civil war, but I think things will get ugly.

Probably rather low. No one seems to
care about politics as much anymore. The Tories were in power for so long that it's
unlikely they'll get back in power for a long time, and
I think people have realised it won't make much difference which party is in power, and
they're just happy for life to continue as it is. Basically no one seems to care whether a
revolution will make life any better. In fact, more people voted for the first eviction in
the current series of Big Brother than people who voted for Labour in Scotland in the last
general election (in June). I can't see a revolution happening in the next 100 years if
life continues as it is. I'm probably wrong, having said that.

I'd say not too bad. I mean...revolutions of
different kinds happen all the time-and I believe some sort of something will have to take
place in the US eventually

I don't know. Revolutionary heroes are some
of the wild cards of history.

Probably 0, although you never know.

The chances of a political
revolution are very slim. There will, however, be "revolutions" in culture,
dress, and behavior, just as there always are.

Slim. But that would be really interesting.
Karen, 21

I don't think it would ever happen in
America.

Well, I guess that depends on how George W.
does for the next few years.
