Egypt is such a fiasco... and such a dangerous and very sad development...never quite understood why the same military that kept Mubarak in power for decades was somehow a credible guarantor of democracy and interpreter of the people's will.... they make Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood look like Mahatma Gandhi..

The naivete of the Obama administration, and the establishment media, presenting Morsi's overthrow as some democratic act still astounds me... I think, honestly, there may have been factors at play such as Israel not wanting an Islamist neighbor, that may help explain it...

I think they were doing things like attacking christians.  People were protesting them in great numbers.  I don't know why we supported the Muslim Brotherhood in the first place.  Anyway stop providing aide to them no matter who is the leader.  If they need food or medicine provide that but don't give cash or military equipment.  I think our plan as a government is to encourage conflict and then sell weapons.

Someone just told me about a group of people called "Bronies".  Interesting how I knew nothing about this before.  Are there any Bronies on here?  James Ford perhaps?

Does nobody get on the interwebs outside of work? At least this forum is hanging on with the weekday (9 to 5) traffic, as some of the forums I used to frequent are virtual ghost towns.

I do.  I guess forums like these are over run by dudes who are know it alls.  No one cares for that so it kills them.  I guess people like to post on Facebook where people are nice.

I do my best to stay off of a computer in general after work hours.
