Anyone else slightly excited?

whoo-hoo, burn it all down! sick to death of the government and those that support it. Good riddance.

Uh seeing as 90% of us are from those two countries, I don't think excitement correctly describes my feelings.

Apprehension? Anxiety maybe?

I dunno.

We will see what the future holds when it comes around, I guess.

London is burning. The economic giant of America is failing. Even nature seems to have become even more turbulent.

And yet, I'm a little excited, anyone else?

I'll tell you why. Change. The people of britain are finally angered to the point of mas riot, and America is no longer considered 100% safe for business. These events seem to summon a great upheaval in first world society. Change is painful, of course. Change can be dangerous, and not necessarily for the better, but still I feel almost lucky to live in such possibly historic times. I may change my tone if things take a further turn for the worse, but still, this is very interesting.

EDIT: on the rioters: I would like to reinforce that I do not condone the rioters actions, but I feel that they are doing this, in a way, because they are angry. Yes there are some in the mobs just looking for trouble, but there will also be those who are simply too enraged to be ignored anymore. Even those just their for trouble are no doubt angered as well on some level. Stupid, selfish, misplaced anger? Definately. But simple anger nonetheless.

EDIT 2: excited probably isn't the right word, but I can't describe it any better. Intrigued? Meh.

YESSS, IT FILLS ME WITH JOY THAT SOMEONE ON THIS FORUM FEELS THE SAME...
SO MUCH PSEUDO-INTELLECTUALISM HERE... FINALLY SOMEONE WHO IS REAL...!!!
BUDDHISTS CALL THIS "KALI-YUGA"
WHEN THIS "KALI-YUGA" AGE ENDS, REBIRTH INTO BLISS AND CONTENTMENT
AND THE CYCLE WILL REPEAT... HAH, WHAT A COSMIC JOKE...
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE THAT KNOW REAL LOVE IS THE WAY, NOT VIOLENCE
I DO MY PART... IN SPREADING REAL LOVE, I SAY "REAL LOVE IS THE WAY" AND GIVE HUGS TO ALL THOSE THAT WILL ACCEPT...
FOR WE ARE HOLY MAD, DARE TO SPEAK YOUR MIND
THANK YOU

Someone's been watching V for Vendetta too much.

I haven't been following the riots entirely, but this is not how you change things for the better. This is less an organized movement against injustice and more of a "we're pissed off, so let's break stuff!" movement.

Ghandi and Martin Luther King are rolling in their graves.
