//Aware// Rant On The Impeachment Hearings
Posted by Revolving_Drum at 06:19 AM on September 6, 2005

Disclamier: Rant Made out of fury against a certain family member who keeps on accusing me as being a communist.

      The drama is nearing its climax. The points goes to closer to defeat. I am not talking about UAAP but I am talking about something bigger. The impeachment hearings has been slowly bogging down and finally it will dissepate today.

 

UNACCEPTABLE

 

        I don't understand how Gloria could lie again; it is for the second time. First was when she lied to the filipinos when she promised not to run  and now she lies again. She said before to bring the complaint to the congress but what are her colleagues doing? They're bastardizing the process; is this really democracy?

      I know the arguements of those on the other side of the fence. But what  you are unkowingly doing is not preserving development but maintaining this deadly status quo- a status quo that she effectively maintains through her machine which makes me look back at that fictional governor in the movie Mr Smith Goes To Washington.

      I can never accept what is happening right now. Why are the people like this? Why are they so complacent, believing that leaving things alone would make things better. I had enough of our attittude of leaving all responsibilities to one person, thinking that she could manange everything for us. Bah, patronage politics and botty capitalism has made this country plunge deep into depression.

      I was supposed to join the rally today but I had a fight with my grandma about this whole issue. I am not an activist but I believe I should do my own part if I want to affect change because Knowing is not enough. Theory in practice is more important than anything else. I can't stand idly by and let things go as they are, atleast I did my part. I won't sacrifice anyone anymore. I need to do something on my own.

 
        And boo to people who believe that supporting Gloria would make things better when in fact it doesn't. I believe if we could only have cenrtainty of punishment in our country then maybe rule of law could really work but right now it doesn't. And what if this whole issue of electoral fraud is not adressed? Then what of the next elections where we would face again the same thing. Another Garci, no reforms in the system of government would change if the people who man it are still the same crooks.

        The problem with our country is we never put officials accountable- We let them be. Even in the disaster ridden New Orleans and the Gulf Coast of America what I see is clear lines of accountability. People knew who to pressure, be it the federal government or FEMA and as for us we don't know who to hold accountable. We can't blame anyone and we even find it taboo to blame someone in power. It's like this opposition = destabilization. Yeah right, if you know how democracy really works then a healthy opposition is vital for any democracy. What a fake democracy we have.

    I can't stand this anymore. I can't stand people who evade issues. I can't stand people believing that evading issues leads to development. Right now we need to adress this issue of fraud to really know if Gloria stole our god given right of suffrage.

 Ah I am tired... I am loosing hope in this country but still hope lingers quietly.  And this is the path I choose to follow it maybe wrong but I believe that inorder to bring order one needs chaos.

apathy has plagued the people of this country mainly because no one has stepped up to offer a good vision of the future...

one opinion I read said that kicking Gloria out is not the only thing the Filipinos want, they also want a clear and crisp vison of a good future...

unless the opposition manages to give that vision, most people wouldn't give a damn...

I agree and I believe the opposition should be ready to give a alternative route to follow which is acceptable to the public.

hi.. people are so stupid of believing that this country will still be fixed (as you may call it). But if our Gov. officials are still the same (corrupt,idiots,selfish,leeches,etc.) nothing will happen. It will only worsen the situation. Kumbaga sabi nga nila, sadlak na ang bayang Pilipinas.We should do sumthin' about it..
