funny stuff ace. from bloomberg as usual you'd learn nothing whatsoever about the political situation; replacing it is some bland bourgeois concern with how bad it is to raise wages and invest in job creation because according to some wholly dysfunctional neo-liberal ideology, any political orientation that distributes wealth toward the citizenry is a priori bad. so people like you, who buy into this sort of stuff, have no real problem with brutal dictatorships. hell you like em so long as they keep stuff stable. so you cannot imagine why people in egypt would mobilize to rid themselves of a 30 year state of emergency of rigged elections and political repression, or routine torture...
i expect you'd have been out with the pro-mubarak goons that rolled into tahrir square this morning just at the time the army happened to stop patting down everyone who entered the square for weapons the way they had been for the last week or so.
this democracy business has to stop. people should learn their place, right ace?
