Current Events -- Absolutely Nothing To Do With The Bakken

I will opine that what is happening in Cairo, Egypt, today is as momentous as what happened on November 9, 1989, when the Berlin wall came down.

Unfortunately, there is a very good chance that one year from now we will see an Islamist country arise out of the ashes, as they say.

It is said that a revolution is made up of three parts: a) the overthrow of the current government; b) the new liberal democratic government or the "people's party; and, then to be followed by c) the group best organized to take control of a "democratic" government.

In this case, the Muslim Brotherhood, which was founded in Egypt in 1928, is the best organized and most ready to take control.

The local Egyptian army has given up, the police are obviously unable to control the situation, and the downtrodden are now in control. 

The poor shall inherit the earth.

    ¿Can the poor afford a loaf of bread?
    Price of wheat going up.
