"The fate of the country does not depend on how you vote at the polls -- the worst man is as strong as the best at that game; it does not depend on what kind of paper you drop into the ballot-box once a year, but on what kind of man you drop from your chamber into the street every morning." ~ Henry David Thoreau
"Several people have been wounded when armed men stormed Libya's parliament in the capital, Tripoli, causing lawmakers to postpone the selection of a new prime minister. Omar Hmeidan, a spokesman, told the Reuters news agency that Tuesday's attack was started by gunmen linked to one of the defeated candidates for prime minister. "Armed men have besieged the Congress, but we do not know the motive of the attack," Tahar Mokni, a member of Libya's parliament, told the AFP news agency."
