baibhav, I agree with you... very nicely put, but Gaunle bro, I am afraid I am kind of disturbed by some of your arguments. Especially the part where you said "Everyone talks as if corruption was invented by Girija Prasad in Nepal. Is that so? Did Nepalese people enjoyed the corruption free society during the Panchyat era, during the direct rule of King?" ... isn't that exactly the point of 90's revolution? What's the sense of revolution if we were living happily and peacefully in a corruption free , free and peaceful land of Pasupatinath during the panchayeti era? Did we really need democracy if we were oh-so-great during that period? Nope, we were not happy, we wanted corruption free environment. We might not have believed that Nepal would be Singapore in 3 or 5 years, but we certainly didn't believe that we'd have to deal with insanity in the name of the democracy. Insanity in the form of Girija's stubbornness, mockery of the democracy in the form of Sher Bahadur Deuba's incompetence, Alcohol bathed democracy -- thanks to KP Bhattarai -- and the list goes on and on and on. And it's really saddening that after 15 years one comes to the point where he has to support the decision made by the person he hated the most -- because there doesn't seem to be any other option left -- faith has been murdered in the name of democracy. And those freedom of press, freedom of speech, freedom of whatever, do they really exist? Somebody please kindly give me an example... I am dyin' to understand them... (Hard fkin' friday... yetti ho.. eh.)
