The Art of Governance

That's the dictionary definition MM lee gave when asked what politics was. Anyway yeah so he was shootinghimself in the foot throughout the whole programme and kept avoiding the point of some questions.

Right so when asked about political apathy he said that if people did not bother to vote and did not care about politics, it meant that the government was doing well. Yeah and pamela anderson's boobs are real. Political apathy means people do not care and therefore do not know if another governemnt could be doing a better job. How can it be a reflection of the present government's excellence? It could mean that the people are having their daily needs met and do not feel compelled to start an uprising that's all. It doesn't show that the government is doing a superb job. Plus he kinda had his tongue in a twist when one guy went on to ask how then are we going to have capable replacements for the next generation if people are apathatic about politics since the PAP walks over every year.

Anyway I do feel that the presence of a decent opposition is important in any country. Maybe I should run for elections, ha.

It's good friday. Oh right, the season of easter chocolate bunnies and eggs. And church of course. And how fitting that the gospel of judas has been on a rampage all over national geographic the past week. I do think the kiss of judas is a beautiful and timeless representation of betrayal.

note to self: stay alive
