Libya, Egypt, Dictators and Democracy: Reigning in the balloons

A small number of people are like helium balloons. They rise because it is just in them to rise. They don’t rise because some good and powerful reason is pulling them up; they would just rise until something physically stopped them. They do have alot to stop them, but they just roll around and push upwards always finding some crack in the ceiling. The only thing that stops a Gaddafi from taking over the world by killing any opposition and stealing everyone’s money is that he isn’t powerful enough to do it. It requires a toxic mentality to have that kind of lift. And these helium balloons are an unfortunate creation, because their toxicity gets amplified as they rise. I think that I met one of them briefly the other day and, I swear, if this person lived without any resistance to her will, she would become president of the world, turn Hawaii into her own tertiary institution and give herself a doctorate in godliness.  Luckily people dont like helium balloons that much, and that’s why democracy is such a tough ceiling for them. I wouldn’t vote for the balloon that I met, no way.

Lets hope that Libya and Egypt can build some solid ceilings
