What is Logic?

 I don’t know why but aren’t people just too hard headed? Rather, aren’t Philippine politicians, big and small, hard-headed? Why do they think that they can always get away from anything. They keep doing the same shit around and around and around. I have always been hopeful of our country, but my gosh, what officials do we have? Do they have no conscience as to what they are doing? If the president and her family really went to some form of corruption, did they not think logically of these things?
(1) she replaced a plunderer
(2) most will be keen on her administration since she replaced a plunderer
(3) most people are doubting her capabilities
(4) most people are doubting that she won the elections in 2004
(5) you have a big opposition.
I don’t know but this is not about moral conscience but this is a logical and sensitive type of thinking, and though plunder, corruption, and lying to the public are impeacheable grounds, I am actually though sick of an impeachment case! Why? Because in 2000 we tried to impeach Erap, got an EDSA revolution, then what? This! It is a vicious cycle. It is a cycle that I don’t want us to get caught on to. We’ve been stuck back to our mid-80’s. We are so afraid also to have an autocrat but maybe we need one. We are stuck with fearing a plunderer but we keep on allowing one, we keep on having one. We are stuck with thinking of our success with a bloodless revolution, but what do we actually get from it? We move technologically but our minds didn’t move. We technically, did not progress.
I am hopeful Pilipinas. I am. But until I see that our young, vibrant, exuberant, idealist politicians who most of you elected in the last elections prove their worth not only in handling corruption but in doing their job as politicians and not grandstanders, then I am hopeful of our political system too.

More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.” (V—V for Vendetta)
