silent prayer...'a world free of politicians...'

I have my serious doubts of the ‘whiteness’ of the Sri Lankan media. But, it’s worrying to see how the powers are trying to control the ‘few’ outlets that people have to express their views!

Just like all past governments, present regime seems to ‘fear’ any form of criticism or dissent. Why? Why are the people in power so bloody scared of differing opinions? Don’t they realize it is absolutely necessary for good governance? (‘Good Governance’ – I must be dreaming!)

Why do the leaders think that they NEED to control the ‘information’ so badly? Do they think that the people are so bloody stupid? We all know what a bunch our politicians are, those in power and those in opposition without exception. We all know what a bunch of power craving, corrupt, thieves most of them are… it’s just that we haven’t got a bloody alternative in finding some decent people to ‘lead and represent’ us!

This is what makes us go and vote for the ‘least – Bad – Johnny’ once in every five years… They should know by now that we vote for them NOT because they are GOOD, but because the OTHERS’ are fucking worse than THEM!

Oh how I yearn for a ‘WORLD DEVOID OF POLITICIANS’!
