Unobtainable; Not So Much.

Okay, so as I'm watching the news, the same types of stories are making the headlines. It seems as though this subject is taking over my favourite news station CHCH News, among many others. Protests have been occurring all over the world, in different places, but with a reoccurring topic of change. It all began in 2009 in Iran when many Irani citizens protested the outcome of their controversial presidential election. Following this was the protests in Tunisia that called for the resignation of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, who officially resigned after fleeing to Saudi Arabia, ending 23 years in power. This sparked the Egyptian protests to change the ways in which their contry was being governed. This chain of change is something I have been waiting for for the longest time. I've always believed that if people honestly wanted change, they would do something about it, and now that they have, I don't think it's going to stop. 

This Dr. Seuss quote says it all:

    Especially like the dr sues quote.

    The change is really inspiring, and needed, I think it will do wonders for opening those parts of the world up to the global market, and tourism (after it settles down a bit). But it does suck that that tomb in Egypt was raided. It is kind of like those giant Buddha statues in Afghanistan that were destroyed in 01. Sad times.
