Life without liberty and the pursuit of subverting civil rightsThe Canadian Charger
January 29, 2012
Hermann Goring, Hitler's designated successor, wrote that the most efficient way to remove citizens' democratic and human rights was to convince them that they were being threatened by a foreign or external threat. The people will then sit passively by while all sorts of draconian laws are passed, subverting civil rights, because they feel these laws are necessary to protect them from perceived threats - whether real or imagined.
Like Louis XVI Egypt's Mubarak Professor Lawrence Davidson
February 10, 2011
Through his stubbornness Hosni Mubarak has managed to transform himself from a 30 year old "loyal ally" into an 82 year old liability. Almost all dictators cling to power as long as they can.

London's gift of musicalsProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
September 22, 2013
I love musicals. They allow me to witness human creativity in music, lyrics, storytelling, acting and dancing all at once. London offers the best. Last summer I attended three on the legendaries Queen (We will Rock You), the Beatles (Let it Be) and Michael Jackson (Thriller Live), four musical dramas; A Chorus Line, The Bodyguard, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, and the one-of-a-kind Stomp.
