the way I dissent

dukhha, samudaya, nirodha and magga you say when I say suffering. You call faith a pillar that helps the world survive and god the creator and savior of the pillar. The whole system collapses.
The dissent against faith is because it is one such torment and suffering that man fails to recognize and so comes the need of a new noble path. THE NINTH PATH!

All the King's Men

Power Corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I watched the movie "All the King's men" rated by one of the reviews as the worst movie of 2006, but it was quite good. An adaptation of Robert Penn Warren's novel, it shows the "radical transformation from an idealistic lawyer and weak gubernatorial candidate into a charismatic and extraordinarily powerful governor. In achieving this office Stark comes to embrace various forms of corruption and builds an enormous political machine based on patronage and intimidation." (Wikipedia)

Is politics indeed dirty? Yes, the movie shows.

I compare this situation with the prevalent situation in Nepal. Idealistic and radical "Transformers" and "revolutionaries" are forming the new government. Will greed and avarice make the better of them? It is yet to be seen.

Nail em' up!!!
