If anyone wants to see what repression can do, just get your hands on a documentary called Kimjongilia. This is a flower that grows in North Korea and is named after the late dictator, Kim Jong IL. Any country, including the U.S., could be repressed to the same degree that North Korea is.

Just choose the wrong people for your government, for the wrong reasons, and see what happens.

I will pray for Egypt as they make their feelings known now that the real war has begun.

I know the U.S. supported an Egyptian dictator who helped It keep peace in the area, and I know there is much anger over that. But right now, I’m just too happy to see Egypt fighting against fundamentalist repression to go into that. Besides, it’s a horse of a different color – isn’t it?
