So the Arab Spring gathers momentum, and the European financial situation is critical. Interesting, it almost feels like a building momentum towards some kind of drastic change. Had we lived in the time of Louis 14th, and 16th, can you imagine the news, if they had BBC, internet, and Facebook?
In a sense, we have had events occur in the world in the last decade that parallel the major changes that happend in France in the 1700's, and of course, also the USA in 1776, a huge change in government, the overthrow of a ruler, widely perceived as an oppressor, Louis 16th, the British Government, Kind George, Saddam Hussein, Barrak, and Gadaffi, somehow these momentous events are similiar, and yet, how quickly time passes.
