Freedom of speech...

Sighhhh....news of recent weeks have it that 3 person has been arrested for seditious comments on their blog. The content of their blog, which I will not disclose here, has irked the authorities into taking action after the members of the public complained about it.

Such is the vagaries of nowadays freedom of speech, or the lack of it. The government (the world over) haprs on the issue of freedom of speech and yet in reality, tries to stay in power by restricting freedom of speech, which in the short run will make society compliant but in the long run, will degrade human rights so much that popular uprising is not dfar-fetched. As I am now commenting of such freedom of expression and thus running the risk of been detained under the Internal Security Act circa. 1965, I beg to disclaim that these views are not in anyway in support or oppossed to the views of the majority. What the readers make of these words is not my responsibility as I assume that readers are matured enough to differentiate between personal opinions (as this is) and publich flaming/sedition/what-ever-the-government-wants-to-call-it.

As such, this is purely my opinion.

Now then, why arrest people for saying th governments are a bunch of highly paid corrupted idiots? Which government am I talking about? Well, to be honest...all of them. They can be highly paid and they can be ace of the world corruption free standards, but in my eye, they are a bloody corrupted lot. And the people in the non-government sectors learn from the best in the corruption business; the government. That's right, I think that the private sectors learn corruption from the governments. But that is not why I brought it up. The biggest headache of any government is to stay in power as long as possible with little change in status quo or tightly controlled changes. Thse arrests (of the bloggers) attests to the fact that the government everywhere are afraid of discentious views; views that seems contrary to government propaganda, policies and wills. Even views that is meant to affect changes for the betterment and enrichment of the government and society is frawned upon. Views about the human's place in the world are strongly objected to. Only views that allowed the government to make more money at the expense of the neighboring competitor contried are accepted. Or one that makes bigger and meaner and deadlier weapons with huge percentage of the money going into private coffers are allowed. Hell, even the fact of government tenders are a corrupt practice in itself. Think about it, 20 thousand dollars for a toilet seat? Shit man, this reminds me of the NKF saga.

And I have reached the limit I've imposed on myself to blast the stupid and evil censors who might be reading this. Wish I could post porno pictures here, but that would get my page banned, so I'll stick to this...........YOU STUPID IDIOT! Up YOURS STUPID CENSORS!!!
