Hi everyone,
I get the feeling that there is a distinct cynicism about this whole
affair(Timor). That feeling also applies to our courageous leaders, both
past and present. In fact one might say that there was a certain element of
distrust toward them all, wherever they reign.
Whether the subject be elections or Timor, whether it be police
corruption or corrupt politicians (and we have plenty) or just the power
hungry wanker running the local community centre... things ain't right
things ain't.
So while you all plan the next revolution; remember the government we
have was only elected by 40% of the voters and the other side agrees they
have a mandate.
Also note that if we move from this generalised condemnation of
government we will undoubtedly quarrelover some insignificant point to the
bitter end.

These are the simple facts:
If you have no land to live from, you are dependent on money
to purchase the
products of the land;
If you have no money to live from, you depend on employment
to gain the money;
If you have no employment, then dependent on the
State;
If the State refuses you, you beg for the charity
of the rich;
If there is no charity, you steal or you die.
Such is the chain which binds us to each other, and to the
land.
