In egypt they started doingit. They got an elected government and then the same people, many but not all, the same numbers of people who had gone to the streets the first time went back into the streets and asked the army to come in but this time they werent asking the army to take away an undemocratic government,they were asking the army to take away a government that had been elected so the army did and the accomplishment was the end of democracy for at least a generation.

For example, by 2024, despite the really unfathomable increases in electricity demand, they will have 2 3 for japan today to say nothing of asian or india.
