Dear Leslie,
This is just to remind you that had you posted this message 24 hours later,
your posting privileges at {RTI_India] would stand suspended..
After 4+ years of being on this group, you are still as confused as when you
first joined.
As we have often discussed, this state of affairs has come about because you
keep
scuttling from here to there (to everywhere) searching for easy solutions
and indulge in
wishful thinking.
Let me give you a parable.
I am sure you would have heard about the persecution of Jews in Nazi
Germany. First the Nazis started bashing up the Jews. Then they said "it's
a monstrous lie that we don't protect Jews, if you all wear these large Star
of David armbands, we'll be able to give effect to your Fundamental Rights".
Sure enough all the good Jews (there were many "bad" Jews who didn't fall
for this) lined up in droves to wear the armbands believing that the (Nazi)
State would help them.
Finally all these good Jews who believed in the State were taken off to
concentration
camps and made to dig their own graves before they were shot. Later since
there were
so many "good" Jews who trusted the State, the State decided to use poison
gas
instead because it was so much cheaper.
So, just for you Leslie, I shall list the morals / points of this parable.,
1) Substitute "RTI user" for "Jew".
2) Substitute "RTI Act" for the "Star of David" armband,
3) Substitute "Sonia / Rahul Gandhi" for "Adolf Hitler" / Nazi.
4) Don't blame SCIC Joshi because he is only "following orders from High
Command" like the good soldier Schweik.
5) Never make the mistake of believing in the State.
6) Be "bad"
7) Don't be put in a situation where you dig your own grave.
8) Don't cry like a baby over spilt milk - move on (like every bus conductor
in Mumbai will tell you when you block the passage ) !!
