A Republic Of The Blind

Monday, May 19th, 2008

I cannot and will not condone anything that resembles a bounty hunter run amock. I cannot and will not condone any extra-judicial killings, and I will not condone the murder of any person, without his or her day in court. It’s all about human rights, and not Godly rights. No one is God, and no one has the right to act like God. No one has the right to be judge jury and executioner at any given time, and being that, only promotes even more violence.

Harrison today is known to us through 1) Harrison street in Pasay and 2) Harrison Plaza, the first of a series of mega malls in Manila.

    I have a slight problem following scenarios like Gloria will run for Pampanga’s second district so she can become Prime Minister or that she will declare martial law with the help of her PMA “mistahs.”
    Too many things have to fall into place, for the premiership scenario…
    1. She wins the congressional race
    2. She becomes Speaker
    3. The [...]
