the root of all evils in today's ills is nationalism... when it came out of the realms of france so many years ago, everyone thought well thats a good idea.... well centuries later... see what nationalism has brought us into... ethnic divisions...
well yeah, to know ur origins is well and good but wen u band them up together with a host of other emotions... that spells trouble...
no one dreams of a world without boundaries anymore cause everyone more interested in themselves and taking care of their own interests...
democracy is not the solution... trust me... not wen the population fail to understand the meaning... its just another political system, another passing fad... i am sure someone will think of something brilliant somewhere...
singaporeans never fail to surprise me... they still live in their own little world. well no doubt it is a tiny island but the world sits write at the doorsteps of singapore. they need something to happen right at their doorstep to actually realise that there is more to the world than their tiny little flats... like for instance, wen the Gulf War happened the no one thought that it would in anyway affect Singapore... HALO!!! does anyone even know that we have the biggest Oil Refinery in the world let alone the best? so being the BEST means that all of the World's Oils will come to Singapore for refining. and much of the world's oil is in the Gulf. so wen something happens there, something happens here.... like, no oil will come to singapore! and wen that happens means no revenue. and that revenue is a big source of income for Singapore... and no revenue means no money no job and so on so forth... doesnt anyone realise this??
and then the SARS happend.... probably dats a message from God or something to all Singaporeans dat the world is not the four walls of their flats....
