Political action to avert a bloodbath

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 595 , 12:06:10 | Category : Ethics

In "Academic warns of 'bloodbath' ", today's Nation tells us that "in the short term, [respected academic Nidhi Eoseewong] suggested a stronger system of political scrutiny to give the people more power to scrutinise politicians, in addition to allowing more freedom of expression. He expressed opposition against issuing a law to regulate public gatherings." (¶ 7)Nidhi Eoseewo....

Coup leaders: Where are they? Where should they be?

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 704 , 01:04:28 | Category : Ethics Epistemology

In it's special report: "Coup leaders: where are they now?"

Vote Buying: Encouraging political news from the masses

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 478 , 17:40:27 | Category : Ethics Epistemology

The Asia Foundation has just released the results of a survey conducted in June - July this year, with what seems to me some very encouraging results for the growing political awareness and demands of the Thai people. The Nation has reported some findings in "Survey: Thailand heading in the wrong direction" (2009, September 17 at http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2009/09/17/politics/politics_....

The Pope is Morally Evil

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 847 , 14:08:32 | Category : Ethics

Some have complained about my previous comments critical of the immoral teachings of various religions (all religions, in fact), but the leader of the worlds billion or so Catholics has recently gone completely over teh top in his preaching of immorality, to the point that the only reasonable description for Pope Benedict the Sixteenth is that he is evil. The March 28 editorial from the Lancet, one t....

Abhisits policy statement: a road to certain disaster.

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 845 , 11:38:35 | Category : Logic Ethics

Pravit Rojanaphruk's report in today's Nation on Abhisit's policy statement is a very disturbing portent for the coming year. Speaking of the protestors outside, "Abhisit said he 'understood' their feelings but insisted his government was legitimately chosen by the parliament." It is interesting that Abhisit did not, falsely, claim that his government was chosen by the Thai people. This sou....

The naughty king v. a Hero of the Information and Communication Age

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 844 , 08:36:37 | Category : Ethics Epistemology

Now that Admin. has graciously granted permission ( "ADMIN., is it permitted ?" ), it can be noted that amongst the christmas specials of the current edition of that excellent magazine The Economist, there is an article titled "A hero for the information age". The said article relates the noble attempts of William Tyndale to subvert the suppressions of the English King Henry of mo....

ADMIN., is it permitted ?

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 866 , 11:49:18 | Category : Ethics

Dear Admin.,Is it now permitted to refer and even post a link to an article in the magazine that speaks too freely for the censors nobly warding off the threat of knowledge? The said article does not mention the unspeakable, although it cannot be guaranteed that the intelligent will not make obvious connections. Teh constitutionally bound are probably safe from such wantonly sound critical thinking. ....

Chamlong Srimuang strikes again: ThaiBev Listing on The Stock Exchange of Thailand Could Sink Alcohol Regulations?

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 1014 , 19:48:24 | Category : Ethics

The efforts of Chamlong Srimuang's Santi Asoke radicals to ban the listing of legal Thai companies producing legal products from listing on the Stock Exchange of Thailand is prefectly consistent with his current insurrection against Thai democracy. Chamlong seeks to dictate how everyone else should behave, speak, think and live their lives. He has been as consistently opposed to freedom of expression....

Thailand needs a strong Constitution now more than ever

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 941 , 13:31:31 | Category : Ethics

I think what Thailand needs now, more than ever, is a strong constitution that is a radical departure from all the previous abysmal failures. Seven decades of lurching from coup to crisis to coup to mess to coup to conflict should suggest that there may be something seriously wrong with the constitutions themselves, and not just in the small details but at a much deeper level. The courts seem intere....

How to decide which votes count for how much?

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 760 , 13:01:26 | Category : Logic Ethics

The PAD now claims it is necessary to annul 70% of the voice of the Thai electorate in how it is governed. How is it to be determined which votes should count for how much? On what criteria are some people's votes to count for a lot more than others? By intelligence? The fact is that rural people are as intelligent as city people. IQ varies very little between provinces or between city and country.....
