What is a blog there for,exactly? It is definately not for sharing your most deepest of thoughts or putting out your frustrations in text,and I certainly do not think that it is a forum where you can fully express,in clear and succint terms,what is wrong in our lives,the political system, or the world in general.
For starters we cannot say that the current crop of politician are corrupt,stupid, and mind numbingly naive to think that what they state in their agenda will be taken at face value by we,the people. But then,that was what we thought 20 years ago;that our elected representatives will not be as bad as they are at the present moment.
It is certainly not a forum where we can talk about our love lives,or lack thereof.
It is not a place where we can curse the people whom we work for,because should they come to know that we are,our ass is going to get fired in a jiffy.
I do not want it to be a place where I talk only about the movies that I've seen...I have come to realise that..thanks to Cheeki for the feedback.
Many of us use these blogs to say how screwed the world is,how things can be better,how the people who run the country don't know their ass from a hole in the wall,etc etc etc.
But have we tried to do anything about it ourselves? Have we tried undoing the wrongs that have been done due to short sightedness and narrow mindedness?
Have we consciously tried to change the world we live in,instead of only cribbing about it?
I honestly believe that not everybody enters politics to make money,although thats what eveybody ends up doing.Most of them would have entered it out of a desire to make their constituency a better place,with better roads,electricity and potable water. Alas one they're in the game,and money comes in from virtually all avenues,welfare of the masses takes a back seat.After all,and they're right about this,they cannot support a family based on a government salary.So they must choose other routes to survive.
But,in the end,that does not validate what they're doing. No way.
The solution? Dictatorship? It is a short term solution which will create more damage than control it. Look at Pakistan. Plus it is inherently against the principle of human freedom where a regime can jail you for no reason,take you away and lock you up in a hole in the wall 'cos you might have done something wrong,and you cannot fight for your innocence. You're guilty.period,and not guilty until proven innocent.
Whatever. We have more important things to think about,like living our lives,don't we?
