Samsara

I am reminded of the Reagan quote "Trust but verify". In this case trust  might be hard to come by but all should seek to verify and question the government regardless of who is in power.   For argument's sake, lets say the Maoists are every thing you said, but what do you do about them? Can't kill them because if that was viable it would already have been done by now I would think. Assuming they emerge as the largest party,  and that might be possible but is still a ways away, what can those, like me,  who don't support the Maoists do?  Question, criticize, oppose and support as needed (for the sake of national interest)

At the end of this, sorry if this sounds corny, the country comes first before anything and we need to make this process, as reprehensible as some of us might find it, work. The future of this country is our common destiny regardless of our political persuasion and if we let anyone, including the Maoist screw it,  we'll only have ourselves to blame.

(Dang, I better stop before I sound like a preacher)

One last thought, my hope, and the hope of others is that power will moderate the behavior of the Maoists. If it doesn't, they are going to pay the price. People eventually overthrew a 230 year old institution that misbehaved and I am confident they will boot out a juvenile party that does not conduct itself well.
