Democracy needs more free speech, for even the speech of foolish people is
valuable if it serves to guarantee the right of the wise to talk. - David
Cushman Coyle

Isnt that so true?
"Our own"  Georgie Porgie  is now  back in the media  and controversies. For each chori he has done he seems to have some excuse..."speech of wise and foolish people is important" right?
During my days of work in a Mumbai mill I voted for this Porgie - remember having  participated in victrory celebration  parade in Dobitalao and even buying a garland for this "giant killer"  when he won the elections.  Young Porgie then sent Yankee  IBM and the COKE (cocacola)packing home .to the good ol' USA!  Soon years passed and he has aged!  but  he rose to the elevation of political godhood together with tthe other  "wise  budhas "  of  the saffron brigade Gorgie did also some wild things!
He bought some American  hitech coffins, ate with the Jawans and had his photo taken, went to the graduation ceremony of his son in the Bush country  (imagine the amounts of Coca colas he guzzled and  the MacDonalds burgers he munched.).
 After his return to India - his house was used as an agency to get the handouts and hard cash for favours. And
was caught red handed accepting money via a female agent,(now in controversy also) for all things our Porgie  always has some talk to give and come out of the situation. 
And now  as a few more  skeletons (like the latest one of a judge and IAF plane are emerging! ) The judge and the aircraft joyride for justice (or injustice) controversy...
 
As we look at the  Porgie culture and the  actors of our nation supposedly to lead us,  now we see them  boycotting the parliament (that is probably their fear of exposure). Meanwhile  we can enjoy the Moira Bananas with some good feni and send some to our Porgie in Delhi! Why not Crunet for Coca Cola? And Feni for  a diplomat?
His time for retirement is nigh!
 
Democracy does need more free speech, (like our Porgies excuses) or even the speech of foolish people (who are demanding "respect" from the Italians) is
valuable if it serves to guarantee the right of the wise to talk. But another proverb says a donkey is is not  more foolish when he thinks that
a pig is less clever than the former.
