"Walk Like An Egyptian" was released as the third single from Different Light. It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1986. The song reached a peak of number three on the UK Singles Chart in November 1986 and reached number one in the U.S. on December 20, staying at the top of the Hot 100 for four weeks, carrying it over into January 1987. The song is the first song by an all-female group playing their own instruments, The Bangles, to top the Billboard singles chart. The success of the song and "Manic Monday" propelled Different Light to number two on the Billboard 200 chart, making it the group's most successful album.

"In Egypt, 2 million people are in the streets all around Egypt demanding that Hosni Mubarak step down. It's the most-angry mob I've seen since the 'Fire Dave' rally last year."  ~ David Letterman (2/1/2011)

Quote Of The Day - Thursday, 2/3/2011

The United States Declaration of Independence is a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which announced that the thirteen American colonies then at war with Great Britain were now independent states, and thus no longer a part of the British Empire. Written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration is a formal explanation of why Congress had voted on July 2 to declare independence from Great Britain, more than a year after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. The birthday of the United States of America—Independence Day—is celebrated on July 4, the day the wording of the Declaration was approved by Congress.

The Declaration justified the independence of the United States by listing colonial grievances against King George III, and by asserting certain natural rights, including a right of revolution. Having served its original purpose in announcing independence, the text of the Declaration was initially ignored after the American Revolution. Its stature grew over the years, particularly the second sentence, a sweeping statement of individual human rights:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."  ~ Written by Thomas Jefferson and adopted by The Continental Congress of the United States of America on July 4, 1776

This sentence has been called "one of the best-known sentences in the English language"[2] and "the most potent and consequential words in American history"[3]

    2.  Lucas, "Justifying America", 85
     3.  Ellis, American Creation, 55–56.

It seems to the publisher of this posting that the important questions above all others for We The People of the United States of America are and shall always be:
  1. Do we still believe in this statement of equality and unalienable Rights and will we continue to do everything possible to secure and retain these Rights for ourselves, our countrymen, our children and our grandchildren?
  2. Do we still believe that this statement of equality applies universally throughout the world to all men and women throughout the world, that they too are endowed by their Creator with the same inalienable Rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness we as Americans lay claim to?  And will we do everything in our power to help others around the world secure these same Rights for themselves?
  3. What is the proper role of American foreign policy when it comes to helping our fellow man in foreign countries secure the same unalienable Rights we have enjoyed for so long?  Is our role to be noble and stand on higher principle?  Or is our proper role to be practical and protect the best interests of the American people by promoting stability in foreign countries above all else?

Bible Verse Of The Day - Thursday, 2/3/2011

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. – 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Paul uses the language of the Garden of Eden. When God formed Adam from the dust, He breathed his Spirit into him. In the same way, God has breathed His Spirit into the Scripture. It may have been formed by ink and parchment, but God’s breath takes words and turns them into a life changing force. The Scripture will give us everything we need to live on this earth. Take time and read it today!
