I dont mind dying for the Filipino youth and nation but I certainly don't want to die politicians.
I agree with Mencken that democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
The speeches of young, ambitious, apparently corrupt politicians leave the impressions of an army of pompous phrases moving over the political landscape in search of an idea.
sometimes these meandering words would actually capture a straggling thought and bear it triumphantly as a prisoner in their midst
Until it died of servitude and overwork. This is how I feel I watch these talkative, pompous and empty young people answer media question during a live TV interview.
On live TV interviews after a plenary session, some Congress members look so blank, each one of them looks like the guy in a science fiction movie who is the first to see the creature.
