TIME MAG PERSON OF THE YEAR

Sorry Clang, I forgot to post the link to the full story: http://time.com/5045719/time-person-of-t...shortlist/

The 32-year-old Saudi Arabian crown prince, the son of King Salman, recently led a sweeping crackdown on businessmen and members of the royal family accused of corruption — a purge seen by many as a move to consolidate power.

People are so cynical. He could be doing it for the good of his country and because its the right thing to do.

Consolidation of power isn't necessarily negative; it depends on the motive behind it. If the purge was truly undertaken to combat corruption and push for a more moderate culture in Saudi Arabia, as the Crown Prince claims, thumbs up from me. If he's instead just looking to grab more corrupt power and spoils for himself on the backs of the Saudi citizens, fuck him. I don't know enough about him or his motive yet to have an opinion.
