Well, I thought the way that the people staged that coup was pretty good. I mean, aside from the fact that they gunned down the congress and everything, which sounded impossible, but how they gradually changed everything to fit their purpose. But what I wonder about is how they came to grab that power. I mean, if right now, something was to happen to the leaders of the United States, people would riot for sure. It wouldn't be peaceful. Also, they would have to put someone up as the face of their side, like a spokeperson who would stand for their government. Where is that person now? What is he doing in his position? I'm assuming that the person is a man because a woman doesn't have any power in the United States at that time. Also, how did the other countries react to what happened in the United States? Wouldn't have they tried to take advantage of the United States due to the unstability? Also, I'm sure that this kind of thing could never happen to us in real life. The main reason is the abolishment of money, the big corporations have power and they will always have power because they have a lot of money, and they will never allow that one aspect that gives them power to go away. Also, I'm sure that everything is government owned in the book, so the big corporations would fight that. Also, how come there is no resistance to this new system? I'm sure everyone is unhappy, because that's how it seems. The young Guardians can't get a wife till they are old, the commanders' wives are unhappy, most of the women are unhappy, how can they live like that?
