Quote from a_person:
They'd see that I've written the truth...not politically correct truth that your ignorant dumb self-righteous ilk is so obsessed with but real hard truth. They'd see that I have not written "oh they are picking up garbage, it's so touching so romantic so patriotic that I am going to cry" uber-liberal nonsense but the fact that they should have been picking up garbage and washing [all] their streets for the last millennium, that their today's enthusiasm and patriotism, sincere as it may be will wane sooner than they can spell Mubarak, and that's regardless of whether he stays or goes.
They'd see as I do that their lousy lot in life will not improve whether they win this battle or lose it, whether these bureaucrats stay or are replaced with a new bunch of equally corrupt bureaucrats, whether they scream 10 slogans or 10,000, whether they clean 1 street or 35 today. Their lot in life will improve when they stop praying 5 times a day, stop screaming and start working instead, building their economy, improving their education, creating working political institutions, fighting corruption... Not today but day after day, year after year, century after century.
I apologize, I wish I had said "this is beneath contempt", instead of "you".
