We all know how much of a pessimist I
can be when it comes to Egypt. And with
good reason. For a while, it seemed that
rottenness knew no limits. Not only had
a demonic, Islamist/Nazi regime hijacked the country, but the quality of life
had quickly deteriorated (not that it was any good to begin with). The economy had imploded, unemployment went
through the roof, huge lines of cars wrapped around the city, angrily waiting
for a few liters of gas in the 100* heat, fights broke out everywhere, the
traffic was impossible, and the heaps of garbage rivaled the tallest
pyramids. Then, as if things weren't bad
enough, the country broke into a mini war, with one side attempting to bring
down the Brotherhood regime, and the other attempting to preserve it. The rest is history.
Three months later, I'm strangely happy
to report that my signature pessimism has turned into optimism. Yes, me, ever the naysayer, has found reason
for hope. Let me share with you why.
The garbage.
