The energy of rebellion is wasted on the young. While it does offer me links to articles that I might not have found on my own, I find myself drawn back to more in-depth sources. (And glad to see you return whenever you do...)<br /><br />I have asked online during this upheaval, "Why tout the involvement of women on the streets unless they are on the committees that must be forming to set up the structure for the next round/government?" As you say, what of 'actual outcomes'? <br /><br />I have been met with charges (by non-Muslims) of Muslim-bashing or indifference. But this evening, there have been some more serious discussions of gender in the Arab world and this is heartening.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974775892988435239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-11273393597104850742011-03-03T06:57:28.649-08:002011-03-03T06:57:28.649-08:00Why do so many people have a need to stay connecte...Why do so many people have a need to stay connected at all times? I rarely turn my cell phone on (I average two minutes per month) and I have never, nor will I ever, tweet, though my employer is encouraging everyone to get on twitter so they can "keep us informed." Huh. I do have a Facebook account but that's mostly to talk with my kids. Guess I'm just old.Bob Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05242937151007030508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-28787211439193952392011-03-02T21:33:22.401-08:002011-03-02T21:33:22.401-08:00Some good points, Anglachel.Thanks for sobering up...Some good points, Anglachel.Thanks for sobering up the media on the upheaval in the Middle East.VIRGINIA BERGMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03869389299599141682noreply@blogger.com
