Hello World

I haven't blogged for a while, since before Christmas to be exact, and the world has experienced a lot of changes since. For starters, the new Congressman were sworn in to start the process of repealing "Obamacare", Obama mentioned Scranton in the State of the Union, Tunisia and Egypt are going through massive revolutions, and the Packers have beaten the Steelers in the Super Bowl (equal in importance? not at all but keeping people reading helps!). Before the SB, Obama was interviewed by Bill O'Reily (great man! not.) and he said something that I have been thinking for a while. He said "I don't want to spend the next two years working to repeal what they spent the previous two years working towards, which will then force the term after this to work towards it again. I think picking apart the current Health Care plan would be better than to remove it all together. Why rebuild the building instead of remodel it? Although we are Americans and we continue to build new developments rather than remodel the vacant houses that are rotting away, lets be un-American this time. Take time and fix it up, the idea of the great 50's American way, lets not spend useless time and money by rebuilding a new one. Now to Africa, North Africa to be exact. Egypt is one of the most historical countries in the entire world. When one thinks of Egypt, they think of desert and Pyramids, which is partly true, but they are also a pretty "democratic" nation. They have a recent history of reign under Hosni Mubarak and the people of Egypt are not pleased with him anymore. There is chaos in Egypt and has been for weeks, but removing Mubarak, although seems the best idea, isn't the best idea. The best way to turn revolution into anarchy is to remove power and start from the bottom. The people do not understand the problem of allowing mob mentality to take over their movement and remove the government. There are militants that are dangerous that could take power. African countries have a history of removing power through revolution and causing havoc throughout the nation, which then leads to more unrest and removal of power. There is no definite answer to the situation in Egypt, just like other problems in the world, but mob mentality taking over and removing Mubarak isn't the productive answer. We must sit and watch and wait. As Jack Johnson sings "I was sittin, waiting, wishing" and that is exactly what the world will be doing. Hopefully, for the progress of International Relations and not the progress of terrorism. I will write more soon, that is a promise. Enjoy your night world and ?? Go Packers ??
