Today I will not carry on discussions with people who want this revolution to stop.

Today I do not want to hear about the price this has on the economy because any 12 years old child will tell you that if I'm losing 10 dollars a day anyway, losing one extra dollar for one month to eventually stop the 10 dollars loss per day is a good deal. Our economy is suffering because it is built on ridiculous policies of not gearing our efforts as a nation to produce anything and not teaching our work force to be able to produce anything.This is what our economy is suffering from;  not the revolution.

Today I do not want to hear about foreign agendas or who is trying to ride what wave or about the Ikhwan taking over because the more that patriotic Egyptians take part in the revolution the more we will all reduce evil forces in influence and percentage. Simple math: if 1000 are in Tahrir and 300 are Ikhwan that's 30%. Now if the 700 who are not Ikhwan go home, then the remaining 300 are 100% Ikhwan. But if 3000 others come who are not Ikhwan, then the Ikhwan are only 10%. You tell me what's better.

Today I do not want to hear about "we got almost all what we want" because it's simply bullshit. We are only getting piece by piece, and until today we have not gotten any real concessions! We have a president who said "I wasn't intending on running for president" and "I will tell the parliament to discuss 76 and 77" and who didn't say a word about judiciary supervision of any future elections (88) nor lifting the state of emergency, and who appointed people who are loyal to him as a new government. We have a new government which is still not doing anything to protect the people and which is acting as if we are all imbeciles by pretending to be listening to demands of freedom and dignity while their state TV still spews the same propaganda we have been used to over the last 30 years. We have a new General on the front who says he will restore order but doesn't, who says he will protect the people but doesn't, who says the demonstrators have to go home first and then we will do what they want as if he's trying to take a toy from a child's hands by offering him a chocolate!

Today I do not want to hear about silly arguments about the constitution and how it is better he should stay in office because of this or that article and that should he leave now the Vice Prsident will not have the necessary legitimacy to change the constitution or dissolve the palriament because doing these two things take one sentence: "I hereby order to delete articles so and so, and I hereby dissolve the parliament". Does he need 9 months to speak out those dozen or so words? Really? And even if the constitution would make it impossible to have the changes we want if he leaves then we shall change the constitution, THIS IS A REVOLUTION, and revolutions change what stands in their way.

Today I do not want to hear about majority / minority issues suggesting that more people are for Mubarak or that those people in Tahrir square do not represent us all because as far I can remember until 10 days ago 99% of this population were constantly complaining about an increasingly horrible situation which affects us all. Those who have were insecure, those who don't have were dying to have. Corruption is in every single bracket of society and education, and the health services are not worthy of animals. So if you have turned suddenly pro-Mubarak then we should probably not be communicating in the first place, because according to my memory you do not even exist!

Today I do not want to hear about "Papa Mubarak" or his being a symbol, and that we should not set aside our national symbols.  That is simply the biggest trash I have ever heard in my entire life. As you can judge by my name and my bank account (!)  he is NOT my dad, never was and never could be. My father is a respectable human being who never took something that doesn't belong to him nor did he ever inflict any harm on any human. And if you want to tell me we should judge fairly and that everyone has some good and some bad then I shall tell you I don't give a damn about how many BMW's roam the streets or how we all have mobile phones, because it's not as if he bought them for us in the first place, and not as if we have become human beings just because we have managed not to recede into a population that uses camels as a mode of transportation and sends smoke signals for communication. Those are NOT ACHIEVEMENTS my friends. And bridges are great but I don't mind walking on the ground.

Finally today I do not want to hear this nonsense about our image abroad and how much better it would be for that if he could end his term in office and then leave, because I can tell you first-hand that we have never  been more admired and respected throughout the whole world as we are now because of this peaceful civil and entirely honourable revolution. I have never been more proud to be Egyptian and I have never been encountered with so many words of encouragement and admiration as in these last 10 days, and I've been an Egyptian for a while now, so please take my word for it.

So my dear friends, if you want an end to the chaos and to the misery as you are experiencing it then put pressure on your government to go find its police force and make them wear their uniforms again and restore order, and to stop paying thugs to go out on so-called pro-Mubarak demonstrations to kill and rampage and spread chaos and to finally admit that this revolution has nothing to do with this intentional chaos they are trying to punish us with, because this revolution is not going to stop until this regime lets go of its power and leaves! Period. Out. End of story.

Peace and love to all and glory to EGYPT!
