People of Id

Blogger Arvind Passey toss an interesting question. Beginning with Kerala is punished because of people eating beef there, Girls are raped because they eat chowmein, carry cell phones and wear jeans.

before the Robusta fans the grey cells red, he tosses his first question… What is wrong with our netas?  Why do they make such ridiculous statements ?

then he comes with the ephiteth  #idiotsInParliament

well the simplest straight answer is we have idiots in the parliament because we put them there.  Until 2014 election I had this belief that people who do not exercise their franchise are responsible for the Idiots in Parliament. But 2014 with large masses of people voting, in India, look that the Trump-mania in states, I understand the unspoken rule of democracy three stupid ones will always out vote two smart ones.

More than six people cannot agree on anything three is better and one is perfect for a job that one can do. This is why parliamentary bodies all through history, when they accomplished anything, owed it to a few strong men who dominated the rest.

Think of this politics: “Poli” a latin word meaning many and tics meaning “Bloodsucking creatures.’ Somewhere I agree with Bertand Russell,” “Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man, and our politicians take advantage of this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature made them.”
― Bertrand Russell, New Hopes for a Changing World

We have put the idiots there because we do not think. We are influenced by the trends that are sprouted to us from the media. We think Gauri was killed because she was a woman. Kerala was flooded because people eat beef, well we do not talk about the environment destruction that is happening in the name of development. The BJP government is a traders government, and their focus is trade, if you think it is the small traders think again, instead of  Tata, Walia or Godrej we have the Ambani’s and Adani’s.

Rape is about the power game. Movie after movie we have heroes stalking, blackmailing the heroine all in the name of wooing, no woman and children welfare minister puts a stop to this, no I&B minister pulls up the censors for this.

“The COUNTRY is controlled by LAWS
LAWS are controlled by POLITICIANS
POLITICIANS are controlled by VOTERS
VOTERS are controlled by PUBLIC OPINION
PUBLIC OPINION is controlled by the MEDIA (News, Hollywood, Internet…) & EDUCATION

so. whoever controls MEDIA & EDUCATION, controls the COUNTRY.”

I meant to go to mango meadows to mull over my Robusta and come up with a very wodehouseque writing. But my wonderfully structured and scheduled routine seem to go right out of the window.
