I only knew a little bit about Tunisia and what went on during the Arab Spring. Thanks for giving us your real life experience with what I think we are facing in North America. I’m scared as shit, to be honest. Your reports are “must see tv” for Canadians…and other Northern Americans. Peace.

I hope enough Americans are waking up to preserve their democracy. Too many of them are not paying attention to what is going on and take their democracy for granted.

I love this report! Trying to get to the depth of feeling that comes with awareness is difficult. You are doing wonderful work and, as you pointed out, it takes an on-going ever-present effort, forever.

This is so damn educational and totally applicable to democracies today. People must actually feel, sense the connection between their democratic governments, their elected officials, the decisions and actions of government and themselves, individually.

A very heart felt eye witness account. Thanks for this reporting. Citizens are preoccupied with day-to-day not realizing the downward trend until they hit bottom and then exclaim 'what the hell'. Hopefully this catches attention.
