R&R

While I prefer to analyse things from all perspectives, I do not believe that anyone with any political awareness would truly be non-partisan.  It is not a matter of taking sides, it is simply a matter of choosing the policies, ideologies, and practices that you are most compatible with, no matter how neutral one wants to be.  

I detest people who use intimidation to impose their opinions and values on others, denigrating those who do not share their views.  Some even go to the extent of dictating how others should think and what people should write in their own private blogs.  Then there are those ABU-type vigilantes who actually commited physical harm on innocent people and public properties because they were lied to by their cult leaders and incited by corrupt agitators about foreigners and phantom voters.

I am perfectly capable of accepting dissenting views and opinion, but I abhor the hypocrisy of people who shout about accountability and transparency, and yet put the blame for everything that is wrong in their lives on everyone and everything else other than their own selfish selves, while whispers of shenanigans are being covered up at all costs with gag orders, media boycott, MS Word typos, and MS Excel errors.

Why are we still unable to see them for what they are?  Why do we elect these mental and emotional juveniles as our representatives?  We are not selecting entertaining clowns in a television reality show, you know, we are selecting lawmakers.

These are the people who have been elected to be our lawmakers, but in reality some of them don't even respect the laws of the land by being involved in acts that defy the laws.  My god, many lawyers in this country are themselves law breakers.  

Are we as a people totally irrational, illogical, unable to understand that elections are not just about politics of ideologies?  Why are we as a people still unable to choose our path with our heads instead of our emotions?  Why have we not developed our ability to think beyond the obvious and assess any information or issue with clear minds?  Why do we still entertain wild and baseless allegations and relate them as facts?

These past few weeks have really tired me out and I am really disappointed with some of the choices that was made this time around, so I am taking some time off to recharge.  I am not even sure whether I have the energy to write about heavy sopo stuff anymore.

My interest in politics is waning, and I am thinking of finding other hobbies to occupy my interest and write about.  Political observations as a hobby is simply too tiring to keep up on a long term basis and at the moment I'd rather play computer games than write about it.  Or even think about it.

Since I am taking time off from writing anything remotely related to politics for at least the next 4 weeks, I am taking in suggestions of what to write about, preferably something light and entertaining.  If there are no suggestion, I may write about gardening.  Or maybe sewing.  Or fashion.  Or not write at all.
