EGYPT. Response 2
According to Karl Marx our society is in a constant state of revolution. The poor and oppressed revolt against their oppressors and then THEY become the oppressors of another group. For centuries this exact thing has happened over and over and over. Waves or rolling turmoil have grasped at our world's political and social buildups since the beginning of society itself. More recently The American, The French, and The Russian Revolution have altered the face of our society. A bloody plastic surgeon to the ruling elite. Although, before now we have had to watch revolution in playbacks, always judging a move after it's been made. We have never been able to get behind the surgeon's curtain and watch the deadly operation...until now. The events in Egypt are unfolding before us, and in live time. The Internet has linked us irreparably with every other person in the world. And so, as Egypt erupts in turmoil we, who are oceans apart, are right beside them. We are watching with them, and we are part of their revolution. Who knows what will happen.
