I do not come from privileged background or have people up there.  Our family has gotten the blunt of it so I know.  Anyways let me try and answer few of the arguments

Snurp brings up great points but i think we as society are bearing the responsibility and that is why we are voicing opinions and talking to people who might one day may make change.  How long do we wait before this corrupt generation phase out ?  100's of years? by why so long?   if thats the case then do you the people stuck in that time frame deserve that? 

The idea of referring back to better times is by default: because you look past at 24 yrs and days that are only getting worse each day so you look back and see the contrast.  You can only compare to what you had and that is why many people here are suggesting we had better times.  It is sad that you bring up one example of a incident while you know how many hundreds of that has happened since we have had democracy?  There was no contract killing in Nepal now it is. People are vanished at choice - to counter that example - do you remember the nepali business man shot movie style in lazimpat?

No one is saying we were being ruled by pious and holy men but we are comparing the situation.  If panchayati were bad what we have now are thugs.  They come out on TV and say how they robbed the UN and country.  They have no shame and no fear.

Sap dude I wont even bother with you, you are one of those guys who likes to generalize the whole population, clueless to refer kindly
