In perpetrating a revolution, there are two requirements: someone or something to revolt against and someone to actually show up and do the revolting.

When you travel around the country, you see what a tough town New York is: rude, competitive, a town where good, logical ideas are ignored in favor of unworkable ones. And yet, all these other towns are so dead and boring compared to New York.
