Who is this character and why does he think that quoting Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau and every other Philospher will make us Nepalese realize the error of our ways and go back, kneeling and crawling to KG to beg him to come back and continue his noble reign of terror and repression! "Therefore, giving away power to the party herd at this time by our King is premature because it would create a dangerous situation that would unleash the same party feud and rampant corruption of yesteryears and make every Nepali's life "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." Right...and having the blood sucking Monarchy- the same entity that choose to spend ludicrous amounts of money on Harley Davidson's, Armoured Jaguars et all is not corruption- that to this Royalist fool is Noble and Moral!..talk about twisted logic!! "In the present-day political crisis in Nepal, monarchy is not just a unifying force but a purifying antidote needed against the poisons of Maoists to permit the highest level of individual freedom without anarchy" Highlest levels of Individual freedom?..Seriously, which rock on which planet has been this moron's home for the last three years? Repression on an unprecedented scale - the ongoing "forced dissappearances", mass scale detention of supporters of Democratic government, violence on a unprecedented scale against demonstrators- death of ninteen people who wanted nothing other than their rights are all supposedly the hallmarks of this "unifying force" and the highest level of individual freedom...Sure! "Unless a powerful Monarch can deal with the Maoist insurgency, we Nepalese individuals will not be free to pursue our own "life, liberty and property." The Maoist insurgency has abridged our fundamental rights and therefore this current crisis justifies King Gyanendra's royal move to usurp power and exercise this power for the sake of quelling the Maoists" We Nepalese individuals HAVE NOT been able to pursue life, liberty and property with a Monarchy in place for the simple reason that the Royals of Nepal believe ever so strongly that the National treasury is their personal bank account and have plunged the nation into economic ruin..lest we forget, the Maoists were supported by the very monarch who get his back side booted out of power not too long ago!..History has a weird way of working out!
