Reply #3: Last week when we were all watching Tahrir Square

everyone kept saying, "How soon before it happens here?" And others would answer, "Nah...we're years away from it. Americans are still too comfortable, not desperate enough. Besides, they might miss American Idol."

But I had a feeling it was a lot closer than most people thought, and that we *are* desperate enough. We've been feeling the water heating up for a while now. I had a feeling all America needed was a catalyst, and that catalyst was the Egyptian revolution. Whatever happens from now on, the genie is out of the bottle...
