things I dont understand: who or what's government. Its not some bodyguard your papa had for you so that when trouble comes knocking on the door, the bodyguard is there to save your ass. Another thing that I dont understand is WHY SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT YOU? (yes I am yelling) Why are you so important, why are you of any importance? May be what we need is some humility, so that, we can really be humble and look at ourselves. May be then we will stop pointing fingers. May be then one of us will strike back with something substantial so that tomorrow we can make a case with countries like the US for a tax break for our countrymen. Till then, lets stop embarassing ourselves by playing the same old "poor country" tactic.
