Bahrain needs Super Heroes! Yes we do. Every society has EPIC characters based on some legendary folklore, Beowulf, Godzilla, Superman; a person who embodies Good, and another who embodies EVIL. They often fight and the good guy almost always wins!!
We need that because at times like this society needs to be uplifted, and shops needs something to over commercialize and sell like crazy!! It's good for the soul, and good for business! In fact what I find very odd is that we have people that embody evil such as (Umm 7mar) and it doesn't stop there, lots of old characters made up to scare the children back in a day when people weren't restricted by stupidity to be creative and come up with scary stuff. Interestingly I don't find anyone countering them on the GOOD side. All you have to do to avoid EVIL in our society is stay at home and shut up!
So much for creativity! The truth is that we need to challenge ourselves on how to energize and enrich a creative generation of people. A very small creative & intelligent elite help make America what it is today. However, what we do is merely tackle the intelligence part by investing in education. Of course I'm not saying with Dr. Majed Al-Noaimi we are doing a good job or I wouldn't be the most extreme opposition figure in the Bahrain, but seriously if you look at Private Education where we do have some good High Schools most of them are good because of improvements in (Education=Intelligence) Society as a whole needs to play a role in creating creative minds!! And creative minds are not created when they are afraid to experiment and try things.
Sadly, our culture re-enforces Fear of Failure, and ties it to reputation, which is another hindrance in any entrepreneurial venture. This is also why people who are smart/intelligent/reputable don't usually run in the elections for the fear of losing! This is also the reason to some degree why the entrepreneurs in our society only come from the higher and richer classes!
Bahrain needs to leap forward, we don't need to end up like Egypt with it's awful attempt at a Democracy. We can be better!! The key is we need everyone at a table no matter how much you like your own people and ideas, the collective mass needs every opinion.
P.S I said everything above because I had a gun to my head, GO ISLAMIC REPUBLIC of BAHRAIN

So the question is how do we get the lower/middle class to be creative!! We need to invest in leaders/changing mind sets. The Government needs to lead by example. One way for the Government to enrich creativity is to butt out of things! Let's all create a list of things the Government should just BUTT out of. This would be the easiest way forward! And finally what I'm trying to say is we need Super Heroes like Bahrainman/ManaMan/SaudiMan dressed in tight outfits and flashy colors fighting off EVIL Demonic Characters. No really we need Leaders! A few good men and... women if they cover their hair, or get special approval from me personally to lead us forward. We need to create a society where someone like J.K Rowling can write a novel and be famous. In Bahrain could you imagine Fatima Mohammed, a young writer just finishing Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone - Her parents would never allow her to publish it! Mohammed Khalid and Jassim Al-Saeedi will hold a pickett in front of her house; and Al-Wefaq will issue a statement condemning it! Wa3ad will shut up as usual cause they have no backbone, and Haq would probably burn her house down! That's all before the IAA investigates her, and MOI arrest her! She will probably be released after pressure from some random external organization to a family that would probably ground her after embarrassing them with سحر و شعوذة
