Chaos?

.
Well, the vibes I've been getting lately is that many of you are thirsting for my typical posts to return . So, you must be tired of hearing about the touchy feelie reads about Those Days and desire more of my contemporary Thought Dock wisdom. So that will be what will come in the future. At least for as long as you can stand it. So, it won't be long before you'll be asking for more news about kayaking and busing the school kids. Stand by! Today will be just a warm up.

I'm sure that some of you sacrificed some of your Facebook time to the more important issues happening world wide. If you've not yet heard, Egypt is burning, and their government may soon fall. Egyptians are demanding that their leader step down so that a a new democracy can be put in place. Democracy? The very essence of their predominant religion does not support that, and don't expect them to give up Islam for a better way. Their president, who is actually a ruthless dictator, announced today that if he were to step down as the people are demanding, there will then be utter chaos.

I watched last night's videos of nomads, cloaked in their body covering garb, riding galloping camels through the city streets hurling Molotov cocktails into the natural museum in Cairo to destroy ancient artifacts. Chaos? That's nothing new. It is what life has been all about there ever since about 500 AD when Islam began to take root. So how can it be any different if Mubarak steps down? Chaos is chaos. It is their way of life.

Egyptian protests are now set to begin in New York City this weekend. Our State Department announced yesterday that there are about 60k American Egyptians living in 5 east coast states, but admits there might be as many as 120 thousand. How is it that our government doesn't have an accurate number? Could it be that illegal immigration is responsible? Fact is, we are not only being over run by Mexicans, but Middle Easterners, Russians, Chinese, Koreans, Viet Congers, and most anything else. It's just that these others seem to blend into our society than wetbacks, but are no less threat to our way of life.

I am surprised though, how peacefully and quickly a government can fall. After all, there has been only a few hundred rioters killed so far. The tanks have been relatively passive against them and seem to be siding with the people. It makes me wonder, for the first time in my life, whether America could ever fall.

Hold on!
