robaus Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 The army is just pissing in the wind. Democracy may not be the most efficient form of government there is, but in the end it’s the best we have. You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. The minority cannot continue to disenfranchise the majority of Thai voters indefinitely. You can’t suppress freedom. The pressure cooker will let off steam. If the present situation continues without fair elections, there will be a few sporadic incidences of violence.. sufficient for travel warnings that will put a larger dent in the tourist trade, foreign investors will get the jitters, and western governments will cease co-operation with a military dictatorship...and Thailand's growth is stunted. You’re on the wrong side of history, Worldfun, Flash and Jitagorn...and you know it..hence your desperado name calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 There's a flip side, which the Founding Fathers of the United States of America understood very well. Every democracy that ever existed committed suicide, sooner or later, when the majority of the electorate figured out that they could vote to enslave and impoverish the rest of the population.

jitagawn Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 As I have stated in several posts I am 100% in favor of free elections and a solid Democratic system. Give it rest pal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
