Like any mildly egotistical blogger, I always check the stats of people visiting my blog. The stats also provide me information as to the people from different countries who are visiting. To my great surprise and delight, I found that recently a number of bloggers from Tunisia have begun to tune in.
First, - welcome! I am always happy to welcome international visitors.
Second - a special welcome to those visitors from Tunisia. Tunisia is an interesting country - a North African country which for years was under the control of a corrupt and autocratic government. Tunisia was the country that started the "Arab Spring," when a vendor set himself on fire to protest policies.
Tunisia represents an example of what corruption can do to a country. Organizations such as Transparency International fight against corruption and work tirelessly to expose it. Corruption and crony capitalism can not only disrupt commerce, it can cause misery for millions of people in a country and, further, can literally retard a country's intellectual and economic growth. It can prevent a country from reaching its potential and, even worse, can actually lower a country's GDP and force millions into poverty.
The Tunisian revolution occurred, in part, because of the intense corruption in the country. Here is to a better future.
