Revolution is not an AOL Keyword*

Posted by michael on from the sure-it-is dept.

pdw writes "Revolution is not an AOL Keyword* is an entertaining piece of prose, which has been floating around the blogspace for the past month. In reinterpreting Gil Scott-Heron's The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Eddan Katz has given us quick worldview, common to most Slashdoters, and of course reminds us of what is most important to all, to go out and enjoy life!"

    uh, he's not making a geek refrence, what he's saying is pretty much what you say in your last sentence

    "Besides, the revolution, if there is one, will probably have a web site, but it will run on Apache and Perl Scripts. There won't be an AOL keyword...."

    hence his line

    "revolution is not an aol keyword."

    Has a revolution ever happened in a true democracy (or at least as true as you find in North America)?

    Chile was a democracy prior to Sept 11, 1973 when it was overthrown by a US-supported military coup and became a brutal dictatorship. A new leader wasn't elected until 1989.
