I think the point she makes is quite clear. It's not the country she really hates. She just hates the situation our country is in. I'm not sure I disagree with her in that respect. We've got politicians who don't feel accountable to their constituents. Law "enforcers" who are first in line to break the laws. A general population who can't seem to discern who a good leader would be. (well maybe that's because we got a lousy bunch to choose from). and....when was the last time you saw a piece of uplifting news from our newspapers? the tabloids are even worse since all they want to concentrate on is killings and rape cases. It's always blood, gore, and lust. Tabloids do this cos the people buy this type of "entertainment" We seem to be numb to alot of the ills happening to our country that we become lenient to the point of pardoning officials for stealing only "a little" as opposed to a f_cking lot!! I love this country. Was there in Edsa1 and 2 and at that time of my idealistic youth (Edsa1) was in front of the tanks and the armed infantry. I just feel sad cos the few bad apples that we have (ok quite a few) are really dragging our country down. Makes you want to squash them like bugs but, of course, you cant. That's what makes it sad and utterly frustrating.
