Facts can always be twisted anytime and by anyone. Truths can be
twisted to become lies and with equal measure, lies be twisted to
truth. It only needs a little bit of reality, mixed up the facts a
bit, and then add a few lies insidously and voila! Suckers made -
hook, line and sinker.
More so during crisis times, where despicable opportunists and
conmen/conwomen are out in full force.
People are suffering, in confusion and what better time than now to
push blame on someone else, twist facts, create hopelessness,
despair, anger, rage and hate and then gain a following?
Thus, each and everyone of us must always remind ourselves that we
have to take responsiblity for our own actions, actions which are
either motivated by greed or altrusic reasons, for good or for
bad.
Our actions will reflect the kind of society we want to live in
- unfettered freedom such as the example that led to the
meltdown of the current market or some form of control so than
unknown impacts will not damage our society much.
No one knew Lehman could collapse except for lehman itself and fund
managers. There can be no transparency in biz operations for
it will only destroy competitiveness.
Example, if coke or KFC were to be transparent, they would
not be MNCs, just simply another mom and pop shop.
Thus no one, not even an einstien, without actual hard facts,
would have known the lehman debacle. Investors cannot rely on
rumours to invest their hard-earned savings. Lehman and fund bosses
should be hanged for cheating others' LIFE savings and abusing the
freedom the free market policies offered!
And at these confusing times, those with rabid agendas, would stoop
at nothing to despicably use anyone - the foolish ones, the
confused ones, the emotional ones, the poor ones, etc to either
gain political power or financial wealth.
Crocodiles tears galore, but in the end, stable society, lives
and solutions mean nothing to these animals - power,
domineering control, or wealth is absolute. An ultimate
justification for means employed, but only for themselves and not
for the majority.
Beware!
Destruction is easy, but lives will be lost. Rebuilding takes
time. We have yet to find a perfect system, we human ourselves are
not models of perfection anyway, thus there is no perfect
system of governance anywhere in this world, but only one which we
must adopt a system of 'give and take'.
What is actually a complaint of 'giving' by taxpayers to
governments and 'taking' by the authorities is nothing more than
the sharing and creation of wealth for our society. Our giving is
not to a private enterprise, but to the representatives of our
society - the govt, to help social spending for all, if possible,
and to the needy, whom we must never abandon.
At times, being imperfect, we citizens too make mistakes. There
would be no need to be overly harsh to us by our sociey, which can
be found in leniency and pragmatism by our courts, for those whom
are genuinely mislead or express remorse, but not to those
stubborn old fools who habitually invite scorn and revilement.
Anyone else who claim they have the perfect system is either an
immortal or a nutcase. Worse if he/she only knows how to condemn
and destroy but not provide practical solutions.
