"Give a man a fish; you feed him for a day,
Teach him to catch one and he is bound to steal your boat…"
Queer...? Take some time, look around; you will be convinced that this statement is in-fact true; in most cases, be it the Government officials or the Ministers themselves. After the ‘2G Scam’ and the infamous ‘Adarsh Scandal’ I guess we all realized the fact – ‘from invisible signals to acres of land…. They will never stop; they will not falter’.
Who gave them the power?
- We did…
If the people we elect have the nerve to jostle a dagger in our backs, it would indeed be futile to dispute over Crime-Rates and the coercing presence of criminal warlords roaming the streets like they own them - but who knows, bearing in mind the current state of our “Democracy” they might just be owning them… It's not like our government wants us to know.
I guess we can breathe a sigh of relief, it’s not like they own the sea-routes or the oil that comes through it…
Do they?!
They are pilfering, smuggling, adulterating and making under-the-table deals; hiding their tracks with the ever-so-useful money laundering schemes and off-shore accounts while the government officials deflect the controversy. The day was bound to dawn when someone exploited the government’s incompetence while here we are, caught in the quick-sand of economic turmoil.
This is the 21st Century – ‘He who controls the oil, controls the world’.
What if I told you that a bunch of despicable goons have taken advantage of the system so corrupt; that they infiltrated almost every level of it? Bribing that cop seems like such a menial task now, doesn’t it?
With these delinquents running free and the politicians backing them - like any other individual - it gets on my nerve too. But as the “Little People” what can we do?
I believe there is only one way to deal with this menace, political reform.
After all –
“When you trust your television
What you get is what you got
‘Cause when they own the information
They can bend it all they want…”
