An Egyptian Sends A Letter to Madison, WI

This is quite amazing, and i'm glad to see so many cheers from the protestors to a message of unity from another protester in another continent with a completely different political climate and culture than this one.

Despite unsurmountable differences, this shows that these differences can easily be overcome

Not with mass amounts of Govt. money, not with invasions, black sites or no bid contracts to mercenary groups but a simple and humble message.

This magnifies the already widely visible reality that how Govt. responds to "differences" costs us too much and not only gives too little but in fact puts us many steps back.

Whether you agree with either protest or not, let's forget that for a second
The message of unity is way more important

Odd they have more in common with people from a different country, different culture, and different continent thay they have with their governor and legislators.

Does it follow Walker has more in common with Mubarak and Qaddafi than them?

Much more important indeed, and very moving as well.

S & F MA, and thanks for this.

Tom Morello- from Wikipedia
I had a post written about celebrities and their pet causes, and how I find that to be annoying usually. But it got erased. Anyways, the guy reading the letter is Tom Morello, a well-rounded guy in education and experience, who while i dont agree with a lot of his positions on issues, nevertheless deserves kudos for being a famous popular musician who actually has credibility in espousing his views on issues of global concern.

Reinforces the fact that we TRULY are all ONE.

This really is wonderful!
