Which in turn is used to facilitate the functioning of the oppressive system that goes on and on despite our intense antagonism.<BR/>Until there is a sea change in our system that may leave meagre resources for the defence spending, we would perhaps never be able to have a respite from the crashing of the grindstone we are underneath.<BR/>The government has waive the subsidies off electricity, flour and from many other commodities which benefited (albeit least to the masses), but such facilities has unending supply to the gymkhanas and other schemes for those in military ‘services’.<BR/>Their kids have riding lessons daily exactly when, in the evening, the children of the underprivileged find it hard to do their school homework as the lights are out, thanks to the power crisis. How does one can imagine that the destitute will ever be able to be through the corridors of power with no opportunities to go beyond the status of the raw material for the continuity of the system.<BR/>As Mr Malik says if we have enemy within, they are those we hired (read imposed on ourselves) as counter threat to enemies without.<BR/><BR/>Just SAM!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
