"Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit. When all today's isms have become yesterday's ancient philosophy, there will still be reactionaries and there will still be revolutionaries. No amount of rationalization can avoid the moment of choice each of us brings to our situation here on the planet. I still believe in the fundamental injustice of the profit system and do not accept the proposition there will be rich and poor for all eternity." -- Abbie Hoffman

The Egyptian Revolution, Wednesday, February 9, 2011

- Day 16 of the Revolution has witnessed the widest labor and professional strikes to date. Virtually every sector of the economy has been put to a stall. Siege of the Parliament has been going on, with a sign on the gate holding the slogan of the revolution "The People Want The Regime Down:"



"The People's Council Street"
- Protests in Tahrir continued. Several weddings took place there among thousands of protesters/invitees. Tahrir has also become a venue for all forms of street art: theatre, music, stand-up comedy, plastic art, calligraphy. Even ordinary protesters came up with spontaneous artistic activities.
