I'm not sure that we should be so flattered - indeed, what exactly have we done to deserve such a great honour?<br /><br />According to Time magazine all this amounts to a 'revolution' - 'It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes'.<br /><br />Well, I'm sorry, I have a rather differing view as to what a 'revolution' is. I would have to agree with the Chinese revolutionary leader Mao Zedong on these matters when he argued that a 'revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another'.<br /><br />So before we start patting each other on our backs, shouldn't we be more critical of such honours, for our own sakes?Courtney Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00123189158273701629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33698262.post-37354654198491359672006-12-20T23:01:00.000+00:002006-12-20T23:01:00.000+00:00Well done:)Well done:)Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603644808425946545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33698262.post-18066397289145579572006-12-19T19:21:00.000+00:002006-12-19T19:21:00.000+00:00Congratulations to you for setting the whole thing...Congratulations to you for setting the whole thing up!Matt Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062352280843955046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33698262.post-82068187199115411542006-12-19T17:39:00.000+00:002006-12-19T17:39:00.000+00:00I would like to take this opportunity to congratul...I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of you that are supporting this blog by writing, commenting, reading and helping out. <br />You are the ones that make this more than just a dream!<br /><br />Congratulations to you!!!Stranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262306951293242623noreply@blogger.com
