wearing your heart on your sleeve...

Today I got letters from two different students, each has a relative alive and working in Tahrir Square. Both sent letters from their relatives, each praises the resilience of the peaceful protesters. Each despairs that their civil disobedience has been met with violence. I will never, ever, take it for granted that I am free to teach about resistance, revolution and change as freely as I breath.

  3. I also treasure the freedom along with the frustration of the the two party petty power
    struggles. It could be much worse and those
    brave people in Tahrir Square have reminded me.
