VB- you're right- self empowerment will solve many problems we're facing today. Not all. While we're at the process of gaining stability financially, government also has some roles to play to facilitate that process. Otherwise there's no need of government- government is to mobilize forces where those forces dont act out themselves- in a capitalist society, free trade determines the market. in a communist society, government regulates the market. we elect a group of people to represent our needs- that IS the government. even in the most capitalistic society, government does a lot of things to boost the welfare of the people. so we're not EXPECTING Nepal government to do certain things- it HAS to if majority of the people decide it is or it contributes directly to teh welfare of the people. THAT is what the government is for.
