There are scary things out there like Microsoft patenting sudo.

now this is monopoly at work.

Noynoy Aquino is faced with questions about his minority holding on Hacienda Luisita. None of the attack jobs focus on CARP and what exactly is wrong with it.

Nothing is wrong with it actually. Implementation is the problem. The people who should implement it are the ones who are opposing it (using SDO’s and some other form of policy rather than distributing land to farmers) thus your point of view that CARP does not deliver. That’s why CARPER (CARP extensions and reforms) was formed. Any law not properly implemented by officials are provoking the anger of those who become victims of its negligence.

to quote Ninoy Aquino:

Before civic audiences, I warned our people that time was running out — that if we Filipinos did not reform our society peacefully, we would be reformed violently by a communist-led upheaval.

Indeed, our wealthy Filipinos have yielded only under mounting social pressure — never of their own volition. Without the Sakdals, without the Huks, without the NPAs, our toiling people would still be serfs in a kasama or land tenancy system as feudal as in any feudal state.

The dissidents, I concede, have committed many acts of murder and depredation. Many have already paid for their crimes with their lives or with long prison terms. But it must be equally admitted that because of their unremitting struggle, our society and our people’s social conditions have improved.

Noynoy was not being called upon because he was an owner, but rather as a possible president who will implement laws.

I will just be helping in clarifying issues to help the voters choose wisely. The candidates I will vote are private to me. The casting of ballot is secret. However, I definitely not endorse for you to vote for Villar, who is an Opportunist. Nor Erap Estrada, who is a Convicted Plunderer. Erap Estrada had already proven himself. He simply did not do a good job. The remaining Candidates must present their PLATFORMS and BLUEPRINTS OF ACCOUNTABILITY. We must take a hold of their tails. To make them fulfill their promises during the election. They must also be ACCOUNTABLE of their decisions. It is and will be my POSITION not to endorse any Presidential

I think doing it one huge chunk is asking for trouble. i think we would all sleep more soundly if this was done in stages.

Educating the public via sites and TV shows just isn't enough. Our population is made up of many people who're too scared of the simplest bureaucratic procedures. I do a lot of snail mailing and I often see these hapless older folks who ask around where to buy stamps and where to put the stamped envelops. they'd ask me strange questions like if you scratch out a section of an address, would the envelop remain valid (as in mailable?). Some of these folks would journey for hours just to mail it in a provincial capital post office.
