isolated, You know how late I went to bed last night (morning!). I just got up without a desired rest and have many things to attend to for the rally tomorrow. I am sure you will pardon me until Monday to address some of your very valid concerns/questions, which would take a lot of thought and time to respond sensibly. For now, I just would like to make a quick comment on an aspect that bothers me the most about some royalists, particularly the likes of Lokman. You see, every one of us think OUR respective ideas are the best. That's human nature. I have my own set of beliefs and ideas that I think make the most sense, so do you royalists, and so do the Maoist barbarians, notwithstanding the fact that perhaps every one of 26 millions Nepalis do the same. As proponents of democracy, we are simply suggesting that let the platform for healthy debates and constructive arguments, i.e., DEMOCRACY, be left intact so that we can go on endlessly debating whose ideas -- INCLUDING YOURS -- work the best. Your camp has chosen to deny that platform at all, and choose to promote your ideas without a fair play. While we suggest let's be open to free and fair debates, you choose to shut the mouths of any one who disagrees with you.Now, who holds akin to obstinacy should be obvious. Let's use an analogy of a football game. You have your team, and we have ours. We both claim our respective teams can play better than the other. We say, fair enough, let's go to the field and play a free and fair game and see who wins. You, on the other hand, deny everyone who plays differently than you'd want an access to the field all together. Football field = democratic platform. Think.
