Let’s communicate
There is a good reason some people prefer not to meddle in politics. I have always liked to think I am one of the type but, living where I do, the temptation is almost irresistible. What with the tragedy in Palestine, the war in Lebanon, the reform efforts in Saudi Arabia, the occupation in Iraq, and the subliminal turmoil in Egypt; one can hardly stay clean. Everyone is a political analyst: think of it as the epidemic outbreak of a perverse hobby.
At any rate, I have tried hard not to engage in the dirty business but my latest post seems to have broken the sacred rule. And despite my tried-and-true psychic skills, I am unable to tell if more political taints will appear in The Box. I will try my best; literature is far more an interesting (also rewarding) resort.
In the meantime, there is an interestingly heated discussion going on in the comments section of the previous post ( the largest number of comments to have ever appeared on a single post, we celebrate ::confetti::) and I would like to invite you to take part in it. Express your opinion but kindly pay attention to your choice of words. Lets communicate.

Toloy our political problems in the Arab world are due to many reasons, and one of them is that intellectual and smart youth like you tend to stay away and leave politics to corrupt officials, deputies and fanatic fundamentalists. If more youth with new ways of thinking will work in politics times of change will come.

Hey Batir, would you pay my bail when I go to prison for my politics? :)

<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span class="330430122-19072006">I don’t think that you will need to post any cash bond for just being politically vociferous, they may let you go on your own personal recognizance provided that you serve the period specified under the law for administrative detention which may extend between 14 to 28 days. Obviously, this is all totally and completely a hypothetically dramatized fictitious scenario. </span></font></div>

And that’s one of the problems, right there.

But one worth reflecting on, Vincent. I find it a solid point of argument.

Oh, I agree.
