Granted democracy is not perfect but what's the alternative? Loktantra is probably the only thing between the unworkable extremes of direct monarchy and communism. I agree we have a flawed system and such flaws should be pointed out and discussed, but I have yet to see someone propose a sensible alternative to democracy that does not include the impractical options of Maoism and monarchical rule. And IMI, I am not the one calling others names. Neither do I claim to be "the only logistic , down to earth and think from the people perspective.." person. That is your inference not mine. " So what is the track ..where is the track at least we should know the track right ????" Right track is getting holding CA elections - which might have been postponed but not canceled mind you - and writing up a new constitution and holding elections. It has been a slow process and I share some of the frustration but every major force in the country - including moderate Monarchists - have agreed that this is the way forward. Organizaing big meetings in AMERICA and going to listen to same old $hit of so called intellectuals and people who understand reality is BS." I know of Mathura Shrestha from a previous life. And I have no hesitations in saying he demonstrates a far better understanding of politics than you and does not go around calling other names. So if I can listen to you, why not him? If you don't want to go to those meeting then don't go. I am not going either. But they do provide a forum for those interested. "What did they do when they were in power??still fighting ..and yayayaya i know it is part of process but seems like this is never ending process for Nepal. " Yes, there is conflict but I'll take conflict in the cabinet or parliament over conflict in the streets (which has diminished although it is not out completely). Democracies function when conflict - which is a generally a good thing and inevitable in every society - happens in the right forum. On that account, we have come a long way. And yes you are right, there is a process and it's gonna be a while. " You position i understand ..Always above us:P " Nope, if I thought that, I'd be the one going around calling others names. I'd say you have been doing a far better job on that account by the utter contempt you display for those you dont agree with you - especially the Maoists.
