In great numbers people can do great things. I hope people start to fight back all over the world and demand better conditions. Everything is out of control. My only worry is that if such a protest occured in a country like The US, Canada, England etc. something tells me the folks involved would be pummeled by the police and military. You say democracy?

Can't speak for Canada nor England, but in the US, history has told us time and time again, that the military and police are the last groups to pummel us, its always been us.

Nah, The suits will order them to go home or else. There are countless acts of police brutality on a daily basis in the US and nothing is done to help the victims. The world today isnt the same as it was. The elitist have more power and control and wont blink an eye to take the people out.

Maybe you haven't been paying attention, but protests are allowed and frequent in the US.
Please keep to the story which is Egypt and the military rule now in place and their efforts to suppress the Muslim Brotherhood.
