Where to begin with this one… wow. Well, the first thing I’d like to point out is the fact that this even exists proves just how naive  people are in this world, let alone country. The world has chosen profits over people and it is abundantly clear. I watch day by day...

As we speak, there is another “revolution” going on in Egypt. In the wake of the Egyptian people’s successful overthrow of former president/dictator Hosni Mubarak of 2011, a new leader was elected by the people of Egypt. His name is Mohamed Morsi, and for the last two...
