Watching Elephants Fly （看大象飞）
Thomas L. Friedman
讲的是埃及的选举的情况。其中有些现象也像有些人说的中国人素质低，不配实行民主。文章很让人深思。后面的一个评论也很好：
The cosmic dust created after the Egyptian big bang has yet to completely fall and settle, after which, the causing forces, like the Egyptian women and other major groups, may have another say, and so on, until democracy have coalesced into their new world.
So I agree with you, Mr.Friedman. The world was destroyed and recreated many times over before even our own democracy –an experiment in progress– became what we now have. And with more empowered people, more experiments and tweaks to come, which we may not like, and so on.
Do we care to predict the aftermath of our own active volcano?
