Monochromacy, a roadblock in the path to democracy

Sigh, regime toppled, people happy, but the road to democracy is not that easy.

Black lists and white lists are being written, and monochromacy (seeing in black and white) may become epidemic in this society.

Let us not forget, at the core of democracy is one's ability to respect the other's view point. It is the ability to express your view while resisting the urge to impose it. Because it is just that, a point of view, among an ocean of other possible points of view, a rainbow of ideas that cannot be seen in black and white.

Egypt beware, democracy means seeing in colors, not in black and white...
