Democracy, hell yeah!

These days the politics is a lot about Egypt, and what follows in its footsteps. People have finally stepped up and demanded democracy. Good for them. Churchill: "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." (from a House of Commons speech on Nov. 11, 1947) . I am both a fan of Churchill (he wasn't exactly big on feminism) and not. But I gotta give it to him. He was great on quotes. A few examples: A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. A joke is a very serious thing. A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed. And one of my favourites. At least for the moment: Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things. So in conclusion, Churchill being English and all. I gotta give it to'em. Not every one of them is stupid!
