I really don't know what's happened the past month, but the liberties sought, and realized, by the Egyptian people has sparked a wave of righteous rebellion across the globe. Egypt, Tunisia, Wisconsin...
The driving force behind many of these actions is parity -- economic, social, cultural and so on. It would seem people want to live their lives freely, with necessary but minimal government oversight, whereby everyone has just about the same amount of civil rights. Imagine.
Looking at the 'why' people are doing what they doing, it's pretty simple really -- money. You need it to live. And when people have had enough of being oppressed, repressed, suppressed, not allowed to move the barometer to improve their lot, change becomes necessary, vital. Life altering.
Exciting, these times. Scary too. But at the end of the day, we all want the same things. The right to live our lives the way we see fit, within reason and healthy amounts of comfort and freedom.
