Arab Spring! I recall Google and Facebook taking credit for it. True thousands of young people all over the middle east tweeting and posting. They were all about liberty, it was "their" revolution and wanting what the US has. Well, seems to me they are all going to get less than they did have and there smartphones, tablets and PCs may end up in some burning piles.

isn't it amazing how much our language has changed in the past 2.5 years? Arab Spring? I hadn't heard that one until a couple of weeks ago? Seems more like a wish than an observation. Do they think that if they say it loud enough and enough times that it will become true? Collective salvation? ACORN - never knew it existed until Obama came on to the scene SEIU - never heard of that one either. But now I see their signs and T-Shirts everywhere. our language, along with everything else has become "fundamentally transformed"
