The expert on offshoots

So Michael Young, the expert on offshoots, was in Canada.  A member of the audience reported to me that he was speaking about how the Hariri movement in Lebanon inspired "the Arab spring."  He had four proofs--not less.  One of them is the use of "public space."  You see, prior to the grotesque Hariri mass festival in Lebanon in 2005, Arabs never knew that public space was utilized for protests.  They were under the impression that public space can only be utilized to parade camels.  So the Arabs are really grateful to Saudi intelligence in Lebanon for inspiring democracy in the region.
