I remember when Mubarek was removed, my friends who lived in Egypt teaching years ago threw an Egyptian themed pot-luck party to celebrate. A lot of fun, and a happy moment, but I knew Egypt would just keep moving in to more chaos. Hope all goes well over in that world.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05780110735320602194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-51725290103524155712013-08-18T00:01:30.685-04:002013-08-18T00:01:30.685-04:00Really, fishing is really something that hasn'...Really, fishing is really something that hasn't been tried nearly enough.

It wouldn't matter if there were 5000 people living there, most of them would still be poor and some rich pharaoh would be running things and someone would be trying to kill him.

I understand the draw of power and have had to actively resist it. It's a heady drug that some of us have to avoid. Unreflective people can easily slide into it. Power can change a person, and not for the better.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-50172603084663054172013-08-17T02:02:15.440-04:002013-08-17T02:02:15.440-04:00All very sad, particularly for the people who want...All very sad, particularly for the people who want nothing like that violence. What is it about power that's so good? That some people will kill to get it or keep it? I don't understand it. I used to be "in charge" of nursing homes and psychiatric hospital wards. It was power of sorts and yet I never liked much of it myself. Couldn't wait to get out of it. There are plenty of "tiny hitlers" out there, it seems let a person have a bit of authority over others and, by Golly, they are going to use it, and then abuse it before long.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844967794207697583noreply@blogger.com
