Personal Thoughts on Egypt...

Not much, except...

@ChadPederson Exec Director of BCLibs is right: Watching #Egypt, considering how lucky we are in #Canada to have the most powerful freedom tool of all - a ballot.

Also if Mubarak is toppled (likely will be), let's hope this doesn't end in an Ayatollah on the Nile and the Suez... it's a real scary mess.

Hopefully my neck of the woods realizes that we're lucky the choice is between free enterprise & socialism in British Columbia, not National Democratic Party Arab socialists versus likely Islamofacists.  I think British Columbians should note it really wouldn't take much for the BCNDP to go Mubarak NDP...  already, the BCNDP has a track record of anti-free speech sentiment from the human rights commissions to the muzzling of abortion protestors to shutting down debate on the Nisga'a treaty and the list goes on...

Now is a time to pause.  To reflect.  To realize that the threshold between humanity's World Wide Web and becoming Hosini Mubarak ain't much...

Off hot!
