^^ just imagine if those who went to the street at EDSA I were besieged by apathy. at least there are some who work to tilt the scale and continue fighting. if you just accept that this is a hopeless nation, you are tacitly recognizing that somehow corruption or irregularity is just a way of life.

although OT, last hirit na lang mga mods.

EDSA I? circumstances were different those days my dear. Then, you can count with your fingers those who put their hands into the nation's coffers. nOwadays, almost everybody in the govt (from top to bottom) do it. and dont tell me it's just media hype. the glaring truth of corruption is clearly displayed and what does the office of the ombudsman have done?

hayyyz, 2010, ang tagal pa!

eh, kung ang issue mo pa rin hanggang ngayon ay corruption...there was corruption pre EdSA I. not only the nation's wealth did he prostitute but the entire system by silencing the Supreme Court and made one SC Justice the umbrella bearer of the first lady. and, yes! there was no Office of the Ombudsman yet at that time...that's why the 1987 Constitution mandated for its creation.

if you have seen it as a social ill that has besieged our nation, would you just allow yourself to be defeated without putting up a good fight? well...i should understand you if you have children to feed. i may not be able to empathize with you coz i have nothing to lose. i'd rather risk my life and die for a cause that i myself consider noble rather than stay in the arena of the shy and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat. the bottom line is...we cant be lukewarm in everything that we do. passion gives life its ultimate meaning....

had martial rule not been aborted, ilan kaya sa mga babae mong kamag anak nilapastangan ngayon ng mga militar? they were just so powerful then. my neighbors would always recall the Martial rule with great terror. now, the press isnt silenced although there are attempts to silence them...kung wala sila, would we have this precious opportunity to lambast the government we perceive as corrupt? think again.

too young here to drift aimlessly. hehehehe

sorry mods, OT na...but at least my initial post has some nexus to the TS's concern.

just my 2 cents.

Political Science Rule #1

We can either let bad or good things happen. We're better off in a dictatorship when democracy is composed of those who don't care or are stupid enough not to.
