5. Great video! Thanks for posting. One month in to 2011 and I'm getting

the feeling of 1968 again. The protests in Egypt have me alternately pumping my fist in the air and weeping. Never thought I would live to see it as an adult. (Was a child in 1968 and barely understood what was happening then.)

7. 1968 with the Internet. This is very new in World history.

In the grand scheme it's probably a test, a check on the direction of human culture and evolution.

6. Everywhere but here. n/t

8. Don't be fooled, this is a World issue. We're all involved. nt

14. Pockets of protests across this country by Muslims is not

what the OP is referring to, I don't think.

9. Hmm more widespread than I thought

2011 the year of revolution... more and more this is reminding me of 1848... oh and history never ever repeats itself to a T

10. Woke up this morning to news that student protesters in Sudan were

mixing it up with government forces there, while the Sudeanese protesters were directly referencing the brave protesters in Tunisia and Egypt.

12. Thank you.

24 countries is indicative of a sweep, didn't catch the whole thing, but I likes it! Economic policies and workers issues were mentioned as causes in too many instances by the reporters narrating during the fraction of it I caught.
