EGYPT!!! I Just Can Not Keep My Mouth Shut Anymore!!

A People's Right To Self Determination!!!

I am an American. I love being an American. I love my freedoms and all the opportunities that freedom affords me. Freedom is not cheap. Freedom is not given freely. Someone paid for it so that I could enjoy it. Someone stood up and said "No More Of This Oppression!"  That someone gave me the opportunity to attain  the American Dream. After 200 years the American Dream is there for all of us if we are willing to work for it.

I Love My Freedom!!!  I Want The Reality Of Freedom and Self Determination To Be There For Everyone!!

All week I have watched the people of Egypt pour into the streets crying for what so many Americans now take for granted. The look on their faces are no different than the look that must have been on the faces of our fore fathers at Concord and Lexington when the first shots were fired to give us our freedom. I see the end of fear of their government. Once fear of ones own government is overcome; a grasp for freedom will follow. Thomas Jefferson know that over 200 years ago.

"When the government fears the people, that is liberty.When the people fear the government, that is tyranny."~Thomas Jefferson

And Benjamin Franklin knew it over 200 years ago.

"Those who would trade freedom for security, rarely get either and deserve neither."~Benjamin Franklin

I would ask Egyptians to look to the words of Gandhi for guidance and hope.

~ "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."  ~ Gandhi ~

I am one of the many FREEDOM LOVING PEOPLE OF THE WORLD; that stand shoulder to shoulder with you in your quest for a free and happy life for yourselves and your decedents.
