One quick question for Janey that is off topic. I wanted to ask you off the thread but I will go ahead.

And bad morning to all shills. More than a quarter-million people flooded Cairo’s main square Tuesday in a stunning and jubilant array of young and old, urban poor and middle class professionals, mounting by far the largest protest yet in a week of unrelenting demands for President Hosni Mubarak to leave after nearly 30 years in power.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1251963 United States02/02/2011 07:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So.... How about this? Those who support Mubarak continue to let him tell them how to live their lives and let him take their money. Those who do NOT support Mubarak do not let him tell them how to live their lives and do not get their money taken by him and his forces. Those who support Mubarak get to continue to do so, and those who do not support Mubarak no longer have to do so. Win-win situation! If you like strawberry ice-cream, and I like chocolate ice-cream, how about we each eat the type of ice-cream we prefer? Instead of attempting to violently impose our preferred ice-cream upon each other? This is a 'lose' situation only for those who feel the need to violently impose their preferences on others. |

| cab123 User ID: 1163780 United States02/02/2011 07:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No way to control that many people.This is going from protest to riot.Most security will probably backoff and try to contain problems to certin areas. Clean up later. When the heliocopters show up and start spraying, things will go to hell in a hurry. |
