Egypt. The land of the upside-down river (If you didn't know, the North Nile is at the bottom of Egypt.) Relatively stable. Until recently...
You've probably heard this from a lot of places, but now you can hear it from here!
Apparently, the elected president of Egypt has had a nice, long reign for over 20 years. His office surely reeks of communism. Not a nice stench. Anyway, Egyptians all over the world stopped being Egyptians
and became Tunisians, when they started protesting
peacefully, by throwing sticks and stones, and the Police/Military fought back. Kind of... Some of them joined the youth with there
peaceful protests, and the crowd of demonstrators became to
BIG for Egypt. Social Networking Sites appear to have had affects on organization.
That's how the world will end, surely Facebook will kill us. After some more young people get shot, Egypt will become an a) Communistic place where Mummies are forced to work in sweatshops, or b) A democracy.

Graham, you have an interesting and engaging blog format.
ReplyDeleteI would like to read your thoughts on how you would improve Egypt. I learn much from a youthful perspective!
Unfortunately, I don't see how Egypt can improve unless their government agrees that rights come from God not government, in the same tradition as our nation's forefathers did. That is why the American experiment of freedom has been so successful. If we believe our rights come from government, the whims of those who would seize power take precedence. If we believe our rights come from God, we take an active interest in how we, the people, should govern ourselves to form a government that establishes justice, insures domestic tranquility, provides for the common defense, promotes the general welfare of every citizen. I would love Egypt to secure the blessings of liberty peacefully. Until they understand where rights come from, they will not be able to experience true freedom, but will be beholden to the whims of a power grab.
