I've been listening to the discussions about the rioting in Tunisia. For years, those living in Tunisia have felt that they don't have a voice in their government. The rioting started because a young man wasn't able to get a job, so he set up a stand to make money. The government shut his stand down and, in protest, he committed suicide.
It's an interesting situation when people aren't allowed to speak their mind or have a say in how they are governed. Part of what is helping the people of Tunisia is the electronic age where they can tweet or send messages to find out what's going on.
It's critical that we be a part of our government. Regardless of your values, your politics, etc, take an opportunity to voice your concerns. Be aware. Share your voice or your voice will not be heard. Tunisia is hoping for new government. Let's not get to that point!
