"While an ideal Jeffersonian Republic, with current players, is difficult (note, I said difficult, not impossible) to realize, I would say even at its lesser form, it is preferable over status quo" People did not get along when WE DID HAVE DEMOCRACY. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THEY WILL GET ALONG ONCE THEY HAVE THE POWER AGAIN ? WHAT DID 8 YRS OF DEMOCRACY BRING TO NEPAL ? NOTHING BUT DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. What GUARANTEE IS THERE THAT THEY WILL GET ALONG AGAIN ? THE KING IS FULL OF SHIT ! HE HAS DONE NOTHING FOR A YR. And these so called republic supporters are not any better. They wanted to open a discussion group in Google for LIKE MINDED PEOPLE ONLY. Kinda like GEorge Bush saying either you are with us or against us. So far all I have seen is OPPERTUNISTS TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION RATHER THAN THINKING ABOUT THE BETTERMENT OF THE COUNTRY. SO FUG ALL YOU MOFO'S.
