OH BOY! CALL IT RIOT OR REVOLUTION - VIOLENCE IS HUMAN NATURE

There's been a wave of violence circulating mother earth in the last 6 months or so. From Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Cote d'Ivoire, Syria etc protest and revolution reigned as civilians fought to protect their human rights. Barely two months ago, a new event unfolded. This time it is called "Vancouver Riot". Interesting, the reason my fellow Vancouverites took to burning police cars and looting businesses in the Downtown core. Well, that was nothing compare to what is happening in England now - no one saw the waves progressing - London, Bristol, Birmingham, Liverpool and Nottingham - the very city I studied in couple of years back. Well, who said violence is endemic to Africa? For whatever reasons, let us stop creating historical illusions that race, skin color, education, or social status will determine whether a person will burst out his/her violent urge. Times have changed, knowledge is free so has my ability to THINK!!!! So should you!!!!!!
