Suicide prevention is becoming more & more important. In the last six months or so, SEVERAL high school students in my community have killed themselves. One was a boy who hung himself from a tree where his best friend found him, then ran to get the boy’s dad to try to save him. It makes me want to throw up, scream, & cry. UNACCEPTABLE!! These kids need someone to talk to! They need to know that they are loved. They need to know that many of the trials they face are temporary & that there is always something to live for. We should all do our best to help these kids make it through by volunteering at local schools & churches, or whatever is appropriate. Thanks for the reminder!!

Whether the new regime will be better is a question for the Egyptian people. Certainly it wont be better for the US in the short term. But then again, Bush wasnt better for the rest of the world (or the US) and no one attempted to make that decision for us.

Cricket … exactly.
Will a new regime be better?
That is the question.

Oh fuck. The video just brought back memories from streets of Warsaw. Don’t be shattered, SW. Their water canons will eventually run out of water, tear gas is nasty but eventually you stop crying. I believe the tyranny will fall. The big question is – what’s next? That’s when the going gets tough.

Very nice to see the unqualified support for the Egyptian people here. As a Muslim, I must say, it’s been a long time coming and I look forward to the day when Egyptians choose their own gov’t.. whatever that may be.
As an American, I hope all US citizens will not only show their support for the Egyptian people online. The US may be offering qualified support for the protestors’ right to speak publically, but the point is for the speech to lead to concrete political and social changes. We should all be making it clear to our representatives that not only do we support the right of the Egyptian people to speak, but we also support their right to govern themselves on their own terms. And, given the massive amount of aid we give the Egyptian MILITARY, I think it makes sense to conclude that the Egyptian military’s apparent ambivalence when it comes to the proests is because of the US’s public ambivalence about the situation. Call your representatives and tell them that you support the right of the Egyptian people to elect their own government unconditionally.

What is going on in Egypt is not suprising since most arab countries don’t have a democracy and the religion and politics are tied together. See, in Tunisia, they didn’t allow women to be veiled, they called that an evolution along with other new reforms in favor of the women. That is a good point if you were supposed to live in a laic, democratic country, but Tunisia was not. They used this to take power and make people poor. In Tunisia, the women should have the right to wear a veil since it’s their country, they should have made it a choice: wear it or not wear it. In America and other developped countries, we also have corruption but our elected governments give us more advatnages: they fix our infrastructures, we have the right to vote etc… but don’t think that they don’t take money from us and use it for themselves. The only difference also is the constitution. The constitution protects the people. The problem is a few people take power and decide for a bunch.
