Egypt

To the right, on the list of blogs I follow, you'll see *The Musings of Thomas Verenna* I highly recommend ANY of his posts as they are always learned, insightful and often highly entertaining. I would, however, like to make a special mention of his most recent post about the events in Egypt titled Egypt: Not Chaos, But a Display of Humanity and Solidarity. He makes an excellent point that none, to my knowledge, have taken the time to mention, namely that what we see coming out of that country is, yes, chaotic and revolutionary, but also highly emblematic of humanity. This is something that needs to be stressed again and again in my humble opinion. And although this blog is technically about South Texas, I think it fits well within confines of my caption: existentialism, modernity and the sweep of history. So head on over to his blog and take a look; and after, take the time to peruse his other posts!!

Enjoy!

A turn against the fire of creation in a quest to stop the madness. I see the news and there is nothing but sadness in a world devoid of gladness. Why do we stake our claims on badness?

Ennui is the chatter-Left? Right? Center? FINE!
But can see the tatter?
You're too old to thrive on flatter.
That's why you can't see what's the matter!

Is this the message you want to send that neighborliness has no friend? Even Sodom & Gomorrah went that trend and we all know that fantastic end! Given our past, what I fear around the bend is a future we cannot defend!
