Time to serve the common good.

‘It opens one’s heart,’ my true love said. Yes, she was watching events unfold in Egypt. Where Egyptians, especially young ones, have taken to the streets to protest the dictatorial rule of Mubarack. And I have to agree. With my true love. With the Egyptians. I want a worldwide revolution. Throwing off the yolk of bad government. Where the few exploit the many. It’s happened all over. Even in the U.S. Where a few elite capitalists run the show. Big business. Politicians with no empathy for poor people and the middle class. We ordinary Americans won’t become free until we take to the streets. Like the Egyptians. The Tunisians. The Albanians. Arise, you downtrodden. You poor people. You middle class. No longer do we want the rich to rule. It's time to serve the common good. –Jim Broede
