  IntroductionRevolution! Revolution! Revolution!  This one word, whether chanted, sung or said evokes images of change, battle, and warfare all for the betterment of mankind. Whether the revolution is from the Left or the Right, it matters not.  Heroes of revolutions are permanently embalmed in the minds of those freed, and those wishing to be freed, as liberators and bringers of freedom; their writings are forever in print and available to anyone wanting to learn their philosophies and creeds.    

            Where are these revolutionaries?  Where is the revolution?
