rita1234CAP said: It is high time India has good leaders. Nowadays the system is ruled by crazy politicians who will do anything to stay in their chair.In villages people are forced to vote for a particular candidate. votes are bought with money,threats ,bribes etc. terrorists did careful and systematic planning for months but they were able to move freely.This shows that security is not good enough.When a minister goes anywhere he has so many chamchas to follow him.High security is given to him. The common man is the one who suffers most,but who cares. December 04, '08 |

nat_1 said: u know i agree with all...but there are so many elements to change. a lot of people will be joining the peace rally at gateway tomorrow at 6 p.m. lets go too. that is a start... education, no criminal track record - these stipulations already exist...who is listening to them? why not some technocrat this time? someone with blood in his veins rather than greed? what happened to the group of people from the LEAD INDIA team? where are they? why not rope in people like that to lead us?

Ledzep said: * change how politicians are elected. there should be an YES or a NO vote. final tally should be (yes - no). this is one way to counter parties which mobilise voters along caste/religion lines, cadre based parties and other sundry associations of goons and criminals. * more transarency and accountability. ALL public servants should be accountable to the public (even ias officers!). if public opinion can remove ministers and cms why should incompetent/corrupt officials be immune?! * move towards more tolerance, more freedom, more collaboration with immediate neighbours... non-violence, unity. come together with with other nations in this common struggle.

Ledzep said: * seperate the individual from the belief, the notion, the ideology that promotes terror. killing every terrorist is not going to eradicate terrorism!!! what really bothers me are junta who otherwise make fertile and nurture fields where terrorism germinates come out with suggestions! all so predictable: in essence... label PEOPLE, polarise further, use more violence, spread hatred, intolerance, insecurity... * terror has no shades! all terror is one. have zero tolerance and prosecute (with fast track inplementation of penal processes) ALL goons who terrorise us everyday... thackeray/anti-t December 02, '08 |

wits-end said: sazz, for a min i thot i'd scrapped u by mistake instead of manisha as these are exactly the ideas i'd written to her abt. i also know restricting party affiliatn on the basis of age, educatn, professional status will be hailed as elitist but i am of the belief that it is this snobbishness that'll finally bring elitism to its knees & ensure the same privileges for every1.

Instead lets actually do & invite others to join us - be it the candle light vigil at carter rd or the active work that karmayoga is doing thru its many agencies & volunteers. December 01, '08 |
