Customers at a coffee shop in Bahrain, where citizens desiring democracy gather, regularly get tear gassed, and hope to replace the family-run dictatorship in that country.
This is a very inspiring video at the end of 2011 -- showing the courage of active protestors and the malevolence of repression and greed.
Physics dictates that majority numbers outweigh the needs of an elite few -- eventually these people will have freedom. We should pray for them, help support the idea of democracy (not capitalism), AND help make ours a more perfect union. Which is also suffering currently under the greed of an elite few, for example willing to let national parks close because they won't help close corporate tax loopholes or give up George Bush-era tax breaks favoring the wealthy.
See the comment above again on physics. It is my opinion that those in the few guilty of repressing and selling the rest of us short -- there and here -- should be jailed for a long time.
