Once people start protesting in those kind of numbers the politicians have to listen. What I can’t get my head around is everyone saying democracy is the way forward. I don't think it is. Look at us. I lived in Dubai. They have a ruling family and all’s well. Giving the people a right to choose who governs them is a stupid thing to do.

I hope this Egypt thing does not give people in other countries the idea to try to over throw govs.

Slacktivist was commenting on the people in his own community saying that it was sinful to rebel. For instance John McArthur (http://www.christianpost.com/news/interview-john-macarthur-on-being-a-slave-for-christ-middle-east-unrest-49087/page2.html) 'they are all in violation of a biblical command – to submit to the powers that be because they’re ordained of God. I’m not saying Moammar Gadhafi is the best leader...
But what I am saying is that believers are commanded to ... subject themselves to the powers that be because they’re ordained of God."

The authoritarians are getting scared. I mean - they aren't saying that Gaddafi is the best leader...
