Comments on: Lack of revolution. Good or Bad? http://boiledover.com/lack-of-revolution-good-or-bad/124 Are You Ready To Boil Over..So Are We! Thu, 02 Feb 2012 05:56:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: K Owusu http://boiledover.com/lack-of-revolution-good-or-bad/124#comment-177 K Owusu Tue, 26 Feb 2008 07:01:08 +0000 http://boiledover.com/?p=124#comment-177 Revolution is always a hot topic. I totally understand both sides of too much revolution and too little. After living in the UK most of my life, where the political situation is similar to that of the US, I find that people have gotten used to the antics and quite frankly useless politics of the government. The too main parties, Labour and Conservative, dont share different enough views. Or it would be better to say, they are as rubbish as each other. Being born in Ghana however, and having family and close links there (I left when I was 2), I understand that too much political change can be damaging. All the coups and the government changes, some of which were violent, has had an effect. The problem is the new people that come into power always tend to adopt the rubbish policies of the people the overtook, or overthrew. Everyone is going on about change (especially Obama at the moment) but how can they ensure "Real" change, that people are happy with and want to stick with. I too hope for the best for the Philippines. Great entry by the way. Revolution is always a hot topic. I totally understand both sides of too much revolution and too little.

After 230 years of relative stability, we have become numb to Washington's antics and too frozen with fear to upset the status quo. I hope the Phillipine people never loose their sense of justice or forget that the cost of freedom is eternal vigilance.

You have very valid points and you are right, once corruption is already part of the process it is hard to get away from. Thank you for bringing this problem in the Philippines to our attention, we honestly had no idea. You are welcome to post any time you like.
