Egypt: The camp that toppled a president
Incredible map of Tahrir Square showing how organized it was: a day care center, a clinic, a sleeping area, a recycling area, etc. Click on each section for a close up.

1. The "KFC Clinic" made me smile, for some reason

"This Kentucky Fried Chicken fast food restaurant has been taken over by protesters and turned into a clinic for the injured and the sick."

:D

Quite remarkable how effectively the crowd organized itself. Thanks for sharing that link. :bounce:

2. Before they fell over last night, there were activists on twitter
reminding people there was a clean up scheduled today.

8. I remember the report from the journalist who was kidnapped by the thugs, rescued by
the protesters, and taken to a safe place to rest. He talked about how everyone would ask him (and others) if they were OK, if there was anything they needed.

Yet, in this country, we walk over homeless people and complain that they broke our stride.

Guess which side has the most humanity?
