First of all, you didnt answer my question. Why shouldn't I decide for your family? If you want a reason, I [sic] believe that when you are too close to someone or something you tend to be bias on the decision. So you are close to your family and friends, I am not, and my decisions are relatively unbiased. It will be good for them. Why not I decide for them? If you want other LOGICAL reasons, I have them for you... There are can be thousand logics for and against whether to protest or not. But, logics don't make or mar a country, the actions do. Tell me something, what have you (yes you on a personal level) done for Nepal? We have always been vocal about yo bhayena tyo bhayena, we have not been able to back that up with any action. May be its time to close our eyes on who rides that black mercedes and just work around the system or with the system (even if its crooked) for the utlimate goal, which I believe is to better the lives of the people in Nepal. When we talk about how various republican states did well, we tend to overlook the French revolution and/or the great depression in the US and how they fought back with the system they had, not looking around the world and saying "hey, may be we need monarchy, as England seems to be doing so well." If you are a Nepali, lets get together and shoot down the real target first. Maoists are the real and most significant problem right now. When our King (or any leader that's representing our country) is in a foreign land, he deserves to be welcomed not insulted! There's a saying in Nepali that means that issues regarding one's home stays in the house. What happenned to that Nepali in you? Tell me one thing, how has this royal move, personally affected you (don't go bullocks on subjective issues now)? Again, its a shame we are wasting time in trying to bring about another political change.... the players are and will be the same, say it panchayat, democracy or (hopefully not) a republican state. When you make statements like "In the world it has already proven only democracy could give people better life in the long run," make sure you give me some evidence. Because, there has been not proof of such unless you are talking about your mind which has proved such silly banter. Last but not the least, its not "Mr. Gyandra," its King Gyanendra if you consider yourself a Nepali. Last time I checked we still have a King and some of us don't take anything else for that matter, and to answer your possible arising doubt, its not democracy in Nepal so you cant do/say whatever you want!
