Today: Egyptian Referendum

Today Egyptians are to vote in a referendum on a set of constitutional changes, which pave the way for a police state. The changes will allow the drafting of a new anti-terrorism law to replace the emergency legislation in place since 1981, giving police wide powers of arrest and surveillance.

And of course, the majority of voters will magically say YES! and the constitutional changes will be a real fact that we have to live with for the rest of our lives. I assure that those who understand the constitutional changes would like to say NO for the changes, while others don't even understand the changes!

People in Egypt are very poor to think about the constitutional changes! President Mubarak, I just have one question, Why do you still choose to stay as a president after more than 25 years?! Do you really think that you can add anything after all these years?! After 25 years and you want to tell me that you still have something to help Egyptians with?! 25 years, ended now by the poverty and the difficult life that every Egyptian is complaining about, and you think you can still give something useful to Egyptians?! Or are you afraid that someone even worth is going to be in charge after you and make things worth?!

Now, Mr. Habib Al Adly, minister of internal affairs. I have read in FilBalad that you mentioned that the security is going to be on the highest levels to match this important event! I just’d rather that you are more concerned with the Human Rights Watch statement "Torture is endemic in Egyptian detention facilities. The most common torture methods include electrocution and beating."

I had a friend of mine; I used to work with him at Harf Information Technology. I came to work one day, and he just didn't show up, after 90 days, we found out that he was arrested while coming to work one day, without doing anything, accused of being with the “Muslim Brotherhood" party, and spent 90 days without doing anything, without having an investigation, with absolutely ZERO evidence that he's even have a relationship with the god forbid, the restricted party! Mr. Habib Al Adly, I think you have a lot to do! Or, a lot you should stop doing!

I'm a good soccer player, I play as a striker, but when there is a game, where I seem to lose the ball a lot, or just have great chances yet I still can't score or even create a good chance, I'd rather to leave the game and give a friend of mine the chance, maybe he'll be more suitable for this game, Even though I'm the main player, and I know I'm good at soccer.
