Allthough quite late and already well in to the year of 2011: "Best whishes of a Happy 2011", to you and to all whom you hold dear!
The subject of Egypt, and what is transpireing there as of some time now.... I personally beleive that, the reasons for protests are originating from a base of rather broad width of "political convictions". Not odd perhaps, if holding democracy and freedom in high light. However, I suspect the just mentioned broad base also includes elements with convictions of a rather less democratic nature.... If things change at the Egyptian political top, the ones responsible for this change should carefully "screen" the ones in their midst. Something tells me, there may ery well be elements in there, "less interrested in" holding the Egyptian "Joe Smoe"'s right to speak freely, all that high in the light of the sun...
The above is a serious matter, as is the rest of what you wrote in your post aswell. So allthough I do not want to change the nature and tone of your message, I yet can not help to still try to put a smile on your face. Atleast a small one? So with a little humerous mood/spirit, I would like to post.... You wrote:

Well, the fellow whom wrote that, evidently is not hispanic by herritage, as you and I are Sir. Poor lad. Should "we" tell "them" that, the as of some time now so popular flavouring of expensive dark chocolate with all kind of variating flavours, actually have variants by for example just specifically Jalapeno aswell? Naaah.... 
Have personally tried both Jalapeno aswell as Chili (red)-versions. Some were OK, and some where seemingly a bit to "hastily produced" so to say. Would personally however, and very much and highly so, actually recommend dark chocolate, flavoured with sea-salt. I know... Sounds "odd". But once I tasted that flavouring-version of dark chocolate, I was "hooked"! Why am I mentioning this to you now?. Well.... It is February, and "Valentine Day" is soon arriving... Besides roses to mrs MillRatUSMC, perhaps a little chocolate of a yet never tasted interresting flavouring aswell? (Mrs A.B is sadly not a "fan" of dark chocolate though, as I most definitly am...).
Take Good Care, Hermano!
Sincerely
A.B
