The lack of media coverage is telling and reinforces the idea that the few who own all the money also own the media. I completely agree with the protesters who call themselves over educated and under employed. I have found myself recently advising young artists to think carefully before applying to graduate school. The costs of that MFA degree are simply too high and what would you use it for these days anyway. So many ex-students are in default because their school loans are astronomical…and on an on it goes.

It just shows that the government’s condemnation of the violence affecting the Arab Spring demonstrations were pure hypocrisy. The US government would be as ruthless towards it’s own citizens under similar circumstances. Maybe the Declaration of Independence should become a motivator for a second time….

Absolutely. The American government’s involvement in Arab Spring seems guided purely by geopolitical advantage. Its involvement in Libya, in particular, was prompted by Libya’s oil reserves, just like its military in involvement elsewhere in the Middle East.
