Now if only my Political Science prof. back in 1993 had thought the same thing I would have received an A rather than a B when I stated in a paper that Czechoslovakian Velvet Revolution was not a revolution. There was no violence, the regime stepped down, and the government functions continued on being run by the same people until they were replaced by an elected government.
