Letter: No miracles
I would also remind the 999,999 others to come prepared for what could likely be a minimum one-month stay in the square and, given our un-Egyptian weather, to bring adequate clothing and tentage. But just in case The Scotsman has any gullible readers, I am definitely not attending any such gathering myself because I regard myself as too realistic to entertain any hope that it would achieve anything.
It's like our eminent Scottish philosopher David Hume observed about miracles: they always seem to happen to someone else, somewhere else.
