The problem with
many of the die hard MR supporters is that to them, there is NO LAW but the law
of the jungle. So they have either prospered under the MR regime, or blinded by
their actions, and as people utterly selfish have not been able to see what is
at the heart of the MR regime.
10 Years of
appealing to the people’s basest instincts and a desire for people to hero
worship a person after winning a war, that appears to give them carte blanche
to rape and plunder a country, just because the people are foolish enough to
accept whatever the leader does as right, as they are unable or more like
incapable of analyzing what is happening just under their own feet, ruining and
raping a country of its resources, and making unprincipled decisions by
allowing China to make unsolicited investment ideas, without our having the
brains to ask why they have come up with. Is it love for us, or for the longer
term survival of China, using us a beautiful tropical country, so that there
citizens who have more money to throw can have a great retirement at our
expense!
The ignorant be
it even members of the first family, or not, have no idea why they support a
person even if he is a known devil. Is it because we so desperately want a
strong rogue, to a less persuasive person of calmer undertones, not making a
fool of himself?
Time to wonder
very carefully, what the psychology of our people is? Do they want someone to
make the decisions without any checks and balances as we are confident he will
protect this country? How can we be so foolish as to entrust our Country to
people who are likely to ruin it, and we are incapable of stopping their
action.
How can anyone
in their right minds support any of the policies of Mahinda Rajapakse,
especially due to the daily exposure of large scale squandering of the
resources of our people which will have to be repaid with interest paid to
China at exorbitant interest rates.
There is even a
whole class who does not care how much is borrowed and at what interest rate as
they believe it is not them who have to pay for it. They have a complete
disconnect of who are the citizens of this Country and what their responsibilities
as citizens are!
The mind boggles
as we try to educate the people on the wrong doings and find it hard for them
to comprehend that serious misdemeanors were carried out without any care by
the previous administration and people really are hankering for this authoritarian
mob to return to continue their activity unimpeded.
There is a
complete lack of understanding of what has happened to Sri Lanka since the
historic January 8th election.
It is time we explain
to them, that they now live in an era that they cannot compare with before. It
is simply NOT comparable it is simply as much a difference of chalk and cheese
that means that the new order has to be seen in a new light. It is time that
the media wake up from their slumber, take up the cudgel and rise up to the
occasion before it is too late.
