The electoral farce
It's an age ol' ploy employed my politicians everywhere, dole out ill-founded largesee at election time with no forethought about how it would be implemented or what the repurcussions would be.
The elections in my state of tamil nadu is a case in point. The main opposition party promised rice for 2rupees(4 cents)/Kilogram and a free colour TV. The rice I can understand but the colour TV??? How stupid do the politicians think the people are. The ruling party who made fun of it for a few days came back with one of their own: 10 kilograms of free rice to each person, in addition to this the various parties have also promised gold jewelary and marriage expenses ... to add insult to injury this list of absurdities is the main election plank of these parties!
I know we Indian's are proud of being the biggest working democracy on earth ... but one can only wonder what the real meaning of 'working' is!
"Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; ... Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake."

Politics (Polytricks) is an age old ploy...works everytime..absolute power corrupts..so those who want to hold on to it can bribe those who have no conscience as to whether justice is served..30 silver coins was all it took to lure one who held the treasurer's position, among a small band of mostly illiterate simpletons, to betray a good man. After the crime is done (elections are over), the simpletons will go on living as usual until the next power grabbing, money hungry politician aces the next deck of hands..you win some and lose some..its how everything is negotiated behind closed doors..God will not be mocked..His purposes for end times will be accomplished because of HIS SPOKEN WORD...Time will stand still..eternity will last..no clock will tick then coz there will be no need for politics..a Just Ruler, A Righteous God reigns supreme..Don't tell me you were not warned..
