Democracy as meme
03.27.2005Democracy's still spreading like a virus in the Mid East. Now it's pro-democracy protests in Bahrain. You can even read an Bahraini blogger, Babbling Bahrania. This is good news.
Also, started The Kite Runner (about a boy growing up in Afghanistan), recommended by Mom, after I recommended Reading Lolita in Tehran to her. My favorite line so far:
"Now, no matter what the mullah teaches, there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft."
