Hey Rethink and Nakucha, I understand the frustration. I feel the same way whenever I talk to my folks back home. Its like choosing between the rock and the hard stone. The resignation of people is simply sad!

However, I guess it is easy to blame the politicians, mind you, rotten to the core, but we have to understand that they came from our society as well. So, we cannot simply blame them without taking some responsibility. Let me give you one example: Hygiene and cleanliness might be taught in school, but it has to be our own decision not to throw garbage at others' compound; Social studies might be taught in school, but civility has to start at home and in the society. As chaotic and bad it may seem now, the next generation will be better. People are more educated now and they will continue to be better. There will be better leaders in the future.  At least that's what i can hope.

Now coming back to the King, I just don't see the need. Why do we all have this wishful thinking that we need someone else to guide and lead us? Why can't we simply empower ourselves? Besides, the Ex-King did have that chance for quite a number of years and his predecessors did as well. He screwed up big time. If he wants to be a political leader and run for office, I don't think anyone's stopping him. But if he tries to sneak through disguising in the form of a religion or bishnu's avatar, its pathetic!
