Safe Wishes For All of Our Members In Egypt!

02/05/2011 9:34 AM

I do not want o make this political any way, nor take sides.

We have many wise members from Egypt here on CR4, and I would like to wish all of them a safe journey through the transition occurring right now.

The extremely informative posts that have appeared are missed, and I for one await reappearance of that knowledge.

Godspeed, our friends.

Respectfully,

After watching the news this morning, I'm also worried about our friends in Turkey. Any word from russ123?

It's getting worrisome over there.

Indeed, health and freedom to them. I haven't heard from someone in Iran since that trouble there a couple years ago.

There are some extremely worrying images being shown on local television here.

May peace and calm soon return.

I wish them the best, too. I hope they don't trade one dictator for another as has happened to so many revolutions. Truth and peace is supposed to win. I sure hope it does this time.

Try to have some fun today,

I have heard by Face Book message and via Blackberry from a several colleagues in the Cairo area. They, their families and co-workers are OK, and they appreciated my thoughts and prayers for their safety. One hoped to return to his plant today (Sunday). They confirmed they had trouble with internet connections in previous days. I wish courage, strength and wisdom for the People of Egypt.

Thanks for posting this topic, to remind us all of the personal side of this huge global story. My thoughts also go out to those around the world with friends and family in danger. I'm glad to hear that there are some things getting back to normal in Egypt, and I truly hope that the issues can be resolved without further violence, which I'm sure is what those in the middle of it would like as well.

I totally agree. The Egyptians taught us all (at least in the west) how to live civilized lives, how to build, how to measure, how to calculate angles, and much of the other math we use (even if the Greeks usually get credit for it). The modern world will be forever in their debt. I wish them the best, and hope this all ends well.

It is great to see the responses here, and the fact that a community such as our recognize global endeavors, knowledge and traits.

After all, we are the Human Race, and 99% of us just want to do what we do without harm to others and get along.

Thanks to all of you.

True technical engineering has no political foundation and is welcome to all who pursue it. May their journey be swift and sure to a peace and prosperity they surely deserve!
