Here I sit just days after the president of Egypt was removed by way of mass demonstrations asking for him to step down. Nobody thought it would happen. And yet it did. I applaud the people of Egypt for coming out into the open and risking their lives for positive change. This is at it should be all over the world: people standing against bad government and demanding change for themselves and their families. People massing together to make reform a reality and not backing down until they are heard.
And we sit here and make noise over the location of a Mosque. I think it is childish to whine about every little thing when so many other problems face the American People every day and they ignore them because it might mean REALLY having to WORK for those changes. We have become a society filled with lazy people who simply expect government officials to do what is right when, in fact, left to their own devices, they can fall into a pattern of self-serving "temporary autocrats", much like the former president of Egypt.
Happy St. Valentines Day!
