Calm down folks... Hold your horses... I am no supporter of Maoist killers nor am I for corrupt and pathetic leaders of our country today. I am but a true believer of democracy and its values. I know for sure most of you hold the same values, maybe except for those who want to be a subject of a King or a cadre of psyco Prachanda's communism. I realize that democracy is failing in our country but we cannot fix it by switching back to a previously tested autocratic rule of wild west type royal family. It needs to be worked on as there is no better alternative to a system. Let me end it with a Lincoln quote: “As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.”

Yo ta..som.. you must be either ignorant or very naive, you does not seem to have understood the regional/geo-political complexity of our region. One of the poorest and small country, which now have been in under complete hegemony of one of the powerful nation, that too after establishing so called " Loktantra-ganatantra" merely get any chance to practice " democracy"-what you must be day dreaming. Political system should respond the own local political context rather than borrowing other's system-as a one size fit model. I am not here to lecture you however, even to be reasonably optimistic one should see a some sign of optimism -as cliched " child shows a man as morning shows the days" Moreover, try to understand why it is important to understand your own political context. Hope you have heard of it "Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” — Isaac Asimov Some time you need take a step back to move forward, changes are not always progressive. We need to objective in analyzing past/present and future. Btw, if you have chance read the history of Spain.

सच्चा प्रजान्त्रको अनुभुती गर्न पाउने बेला सम्म देश नरकङाल बनाइ सक्ने भए दु:ख त तेस्मा पो छ त !
