Tyranny


"Of all the tyrannies on humankind The worst is that which persecutes the mind" -- John Dryden.

I remember how Iraq's Saddam Hussein was hated. How Indonesia's Suharto was hated.
Their children's shenanigans did not help.
Made it worse for them.
Their children were equally hated.
And their people prayed for their leaders' fall. And that of their leaders' children.
And when they fell, the people rejoiced.

Witch,
What's up? You're going all political. A Malaysian minister has called political bloggers stupid or something. Read it, where else, but around the blogs. And the Star, of course.
I read at Zorro's that there's a list.
A little more of this stuff, and you're on your way to making the list.

Hey, not that I don't like your entry. I agree. I remember too.

No better time, dah, than this here time to sock it to 'em. Can empathize with you. At sometime or other we have to make a stand. And what better time than in this climate of discontent. Datuk Ron of Gerbang Ruhanie, just received an sms warning that bloggers will be put to sleep.Now, isn't that something?
Keep brooing your good stuff....you deserve yet another one....blowing a wet kiss your way.

I agree witchy sister, just can't help it, ain't it? What's going on is too much to ignore.

I think one can be smart prior to becoming a politician, but when you're there, it all went down the drain.

It's like a contagious disease.

Hi there Ari,
I know. It is so sad. You'd think that a good education will teach you to be progressive. looks like, yes, itdid -- how to be progressive in usurping and abusing power.
Take care.

Everything ok, dear Ari?
