It had to start from somewhere and it really is amazing, that one voice in millions has been able to instigate the sort of bravery that freedom from the shackles requires!! People in these unfortunate countries have been imprisoned for far too long and it is time for them to join the rest of the world....long live the sole person who started this uprising...and shame on them who try to silence him...or her!

Now the King of Saudi Arabia is giving $350 BILLION to the people in education, social services etec etc.

This is to buy them off from any similar disruption in other arab countries. Mice if you can so easily find that sort of loose change!!



Joandjelly- google Egypt, Bahrein and Libya! maybe one or two others by next week?
