For the record, I do unconditionally support equal rights for women in the ME. A "revolution" that fall short of that is incomplete in my imagination.

No I did not miss your point. My response is that it depends on perspective. Perhaps, you are getting lost in the French Impressionism thing because the art appears to be fluid or that it flows. Perhaps, a mosaic would be more helpful because it appears more digital.

You actually agree with me on something, what? Come on, my assumptions that you find fault in everything I present here has been wrong? If true, I will openly and publically state that I have been a fool in my exchanges with you - just give me something specific.

I don't even know your position on the topic, really.
Basic human needs, like food and being able to provide for family, are the driving motivations of the mass protests in the ME. Other suggestions of the driving motivators are pseudo-intellectual b.s.
