read them all .. and i still can't understand what is happening in wonderland.

whether shaikh sanad was instigating whatever or the police have once again used excessive force is IRRELEVANT.. for the situation as I see it cannot be reversed now.

people, the masses, the herds (whatever we want to call them) have had it and are revolting and will take no nonsense from anyone, especially those uniformed mercenaries, who are threatening unarmed people with their batons, rubber bullets and tear gas.

do we want a democracy or don't we? if we want one, then these are the sentiments we have to deal with when the rights given to people can be taken away at the stroke of a pen and when people know they are playing in lost time.

i really don't see why everything has to escalate to a riot and chaos. doesn't the regime ever learn from lessons from the past? do we need scandal after scandal to drive home the message that people are fed up and have turned suicidal and that it would take anything - just anything - to incite them? and don't those people ever get tired of repeating the same slogans and fighting the same war day after day after day?

i don't have a solution. i can't come up with a solution because to tell you the truth, i wasn't for a democracy in wonderland because i knew it wouldn't work.

i am no defeatist but i have common sense.. and common sense is a hard pill to swallow nowadays.
