about the government part we do need one *** all the governors we have are corrupt and need to be changed so technically its replacing all the governors


Did you need the government to remove Mubarak from power? No, you didn't. You don't need a government to change government officials.

If Egypt does rely on a government, I just hope it relies on one that is small and has very little power over the people, their lives, and their property.

You don't need a branch of government to control education.

It's hard to imagine a world where there is no master hand that looks upon and guides the economy. A government could never fully understand education, cars, or even a pencil. No single government completely understands the economy! If the government can't fully figure out the economy, then how can the people figure it out? Please read I, Pencil.

Nobody completely understands how a pencil is made. Sure, you may know about the materials, but do you know where those materials come from? Do you know the chemistry behind the eraser of a pencil or the lead? Do you know how the mining operations work for the metal used to hold your eraser in place? Do you know how the metal is formed?

What do all of these know hows have to do with government? I believe the essay I provided could explain it best.

You're assuming that just because the government provides something, we wouldn't have that something without the government? Just because your government provides schooling does not mean you need the government to provide schools.

Let's pretend we are in a society where government strictly controls marriage. They choose your partner and they choose who you will have children with. Everyone grows up with this system and it's a system that everyone is familiar with.

Then, let's suppose I step up and say "We don't need a government!"

"But without government, there would no such thing as marriage. If we didn't have marriage, we wouldn't know who to sleep with and we wouldn't have children."

The same goes for schools. If we no longer had a government, schools would still exist, they just wouldn't be controlled by the government.

A government big enough to give you everything you need is big enough to take everything you have.
--Thomas Jefferson

I'm pretty sure that is all that needs be said.

I quoted this before, and I also mistakenly said it was Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson wasn't the one to say this. I forgot who did since there's so many different people who are credited with this quote, but I now know it wasn't Jefferson.

Anyway, it's still a great quote and it definitely holds true.

It was actually president Ford. Just FYI.

Middle East need for change. This would not have been possible without the big powers. Some people starting in this issue 10 years ago began to be spoken. Moved after 10 years for this challenging. World need not to be pessimistic. In fact already had to the need for change.

I mean, Egypt, Lybia, Iraq and Bahrain.
Just deaths of peoples that make me sad.
