With the Occupy demonstrators being ejected from the park in New York and other places, I keep thinking "That didn't happen in Cairo. Who has more liberty, us or the Egyptians? What happened to the right of assembly?".

There are a lot of myths that have grown up around the development of this country. However, one of them is not that we are pessimistic quitters who see gloom and doom around every corner. On the contrary, Americans are known for their can do spirit and resiliency.........and those qualities are very real. Nonetheless, gloom and doom has become all pervasive. It is really starting to hurt us. Fortunately, this too shall pass.

Populism can go amok ...
