2, count 'em 2, "amazing" observations...

:sarcasm:

1. WTF, I mean WTF! are people thinking when they send nude or nearly nude pics of themselves around, or if they post complaints about their students, boss, or marital/relationship partner? Do they think that they're unrecognizable? Do they think that, if they're say, a Congressman or a teacher - e.g. in Bucks County, PA (my ancestral home) - that no one's gonna figure out who they are? Many of us are one person removed from almost everyone else in his or her community. How dumb can you be? Pretty dumb I guess. We need a course, not just for responsible driving, but in impulse control. Sheesh!

2. Gee, I'm positively shocked that this Egypt thing is getting out of hand. I mean, look at the student-led revolution in Iran! Didn't that work out great?! Before anyone jumps on the big bandwagon, they had best better pray that this whole thing does not go 'nuclear', whatever that means in 2011. Better hold onto your hat, it's gonna be a wild ride and optimism, IMO, is going to be in short supply real soon. Just one man's OPinion.

3. Will Egypt get out of hand?

Certainly one can understand the crowd, electrified earlier today by the news that Mubarak was resigning, would be highly disappointed when he stood firm. This will be a big test for Egypt. Will the uprising remain civil and relatively non-violent? Will it turn ugly? Is this deliberate provocation on Mubarak's part to incite violence so he can retaliate? Will the protestors betray themselves by turning violent, or will they be baited into it? Are there infiltrators who will instigate violence to provide a pretext for a repressive crackdown?

The good news is that Egypt isn't nearly as in thrall to the High Church of Redemptive Violence as we are here in the United States. The bad news is that I don't know if a "leader" has emerged who can authoritatively call the protestors toward a non-violent response. The protestors have famously been spontaneous and it has been a point of pride that no one person is leading this uprising, though several people have been thrust forward by events. But it is just possible that the crowd can and will resist Mubarak's invitation to violence.

Mubarak's only path to "victory" is through violence. The protestors can win either way, but will effect a more equitable solution by resisting violent methods.

4. I for one, and this is just an opinion,

do not believe that there are not 'instigators' involved here. I have no problem overthrowing a dictator, but I do have a problem with the unknown in that theater which we term The Middle East, but they term, "my home".

We shall see if what I believe to be occurring, in fact, is. Time will tell.
