I can't understand why everyone goes around bashing politicians when the root of the problem is us. I don't blame Makune or Girija or even Prachanda.

The government is a system that WE created for US. We're the largest part of it. When we are so apathetic about the actions of the government what right do we have to blame them when they take advantage of us?

I grew up in Nepal and have seen corruption first hand in front of my eyes in my home when people would come in to try and bribe my father. Now I know why I'm in the west because if my dad had corrupted himself, we wouldn't need to be here.

People, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. Stop being so incredulously ignorant. You blame about pollution yet you're the guy (if you recall) who loitered wherever the heck you wanted to in your recent trip to Kathmandu. You were the one who thought volunteering was useless and getting involved in the community was uncool. You are the one who thinks about you before anyone else. And what do you think these corrupt politicians are doing? They're thinking about themselves first too, JUST LIKE YOU!!

If WE don't show our elected leaders HOW to behave, they'll never learn. They do what we ask them to do. They hear our voices. If we're setting a bad example, they're just gonna copy it! And fix your own homes before you think about fixing your country. Get a job, stop going out protesting whenever you get the chance and destroying infrastructure because you don't have anything to do (since you sucked while at school because all you did was goofed around and now noone wants you). Take care of your parents and relatives, build a nice house, set an example to your ethnically/ racially/ religiously biased neighbour so HE can improve.

And speaking of Girija, I don't support him, nor do I hate him. But I do respect him. You can bash me all you want but you owe this country's democracy to, AMONG OTHERS, the three Koirala brothers. Have some respect folks!! I'd like to see you battle it out like he has. I know I can't.

Can YOU??
