Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.
Cesar Chavez

But I honestly wonder when will it be that we begin to stand up for our rights... Chavez said that a long time ago; but not much has really changed... Just the target, I suppose...
Well consider the strike, Mahalla, the election boycott, the protests after the military tribunal verdict, the uprisings over the bread...these are all signs of change and there is much public discontent these days in Egypt. As Bob Dylan sang..."the times they are a-changin'"...have hope A=Rab. ;-)
