There is a terrific play from several decades ago entitled "Marat/Sade" that has a song in it that has the closing line of the above title. And it is always true! We DO need a revolution ...now; on many things, in many areas, in multiple organizations and disciplines.
We need a revolution in education -- getting us back to the Latin root of the word "educate"--leading us out of ignorance, inspire us to lead ourselves forward. We need a revolution in government -- to return to the idea that government is not just "of" and "by" but also "for" the people being governed. Now -- politicians appear to only work for themselves. And education only works to please the stupid -- the students who are stupid enough to think education is all about money, and the "educators" who insist education is all about jobs. Both are wrong on every level possible.
We need a revolution in relationships -- bringing us full circle back to the individual and not the message, the person and not the super-ego, the love and not the acknowledgment, the union and not just the communication. "We need a revolution...NOW!"
