Letter from Nepal

Blogdai found this deep in the bowels of the internet: (reprinted unedited)

To all the haters and those who loves to b!tch about everything. It was such a pain to just sit and watch Nepalese Politicians corrupting the country and just breaking the country apart (I truly think every opposition party leader's favorite time pass was not sex but to plan to fail the government) and to see THE Maoist playing GOD and taking lives of Nepalese everyday. I would like to ask every Nepalese, who would they rather have trusted the country other than King? Do you think it would be a good idea to give another five years to Deuba, or would you rather have Girija or Madhav Nepal or Girija?s daughter for next several years? Can you give me a name of ONE person (I repeat one person) who you think can unite the country?

We have run out of trust worthy leaders. Soon, rich Nepalese and educated / smart Nepalese ?who usually prefer living anywhere in the world than staying in Nepal? would be suggesting to outsource the leaders from America or India (ha! That would be funny). We have already lost more than 11,000 lives during the on going civil war. Whether it was a death of Moist or Army or those innocent civilians they were our own Nepalese people. More and more villages and towns are in the process of converting into United States of Maoist. If we were to give ANOTHER chance (out of those many many chances) to these political leaders, just imagine how many more lives we would lose? How much more deficit, poorer we would have become? How many more villages and towns to become maobadi land?

How long to wait to see the peace? When is my son gonna be able to actually attend school and learn? I know after reading this some of you might even call me Panchhe or Ganendra ko manchha or whatever AND I'm gonna have to say: Damn! Fool! You are still sooooo stupid. I was a big fan of Birendra (and I miss him so damn Much) and I am not too crazy about current king and I am not saying, now the king has taken over and everything is just going to be right. But we have to admit that now it has started to take shapes and forms of development to get rid of Terrorism, corruption, and moreover the hope to better future. (It kind of feels like there is at least a solid plan and determination to fight against terrorism).

All we Nepalese have been so DIVIDED for last few years. May be this is the time we all be UNITED and fix our country?s problem together NOT just sit back, drink tea, watch Zee TV, read newspaper and bitch about government every single day. Give him a chance; we gave these self-centered politicians 14 years, why can?t we give king 3 years. YOU can help to change the future of this country. You don?t have to perform any miracle. Just do whatever you do with a positive attitude and just don't waste time complaining about your neighbor's wife and government.

I am a bus driver and I will make sure your kids get to school and return home safe and on time, so that someday when these kids grow up they would bring positive things in our lives. I am not gonna participate in a street riot just because one of the political leader had to Wait 20 minutes at the airport or neither am I gonna donate my hard on dime to Maoist so that they can buy more land mines to kill more of my children. That is how I am gonna help my country. If you are a shop keeper and you wanna help country to grow, just open you store everyday to mobilize the economy (trust me you play a part in mobilizing economy). Don't cheat on your taxes, keep your neighborhood clean and around your stores and encourage others to do the same thing. What are you gonna do to help to heal the wounds? What?

Dear Blogdai,

You say you picked it up deep in the bowels of the internet. Can you please give due credit to the author? Provide a link at the very least?

Dear Blogdai,

I don't pick my friend's material deep from the bowels of the internet. They email me. So i can't really give a link to it can I? I assure you I will tell you his/her name when it's safe to do so.

You on the other hand, say you found this article online. So you must be able to give a link to it or say on which site you found it at least. You seem to be dodging the issue completely.

What it looks like is that you're just copy/pasting other people's material and putting it up on your site without giving them any credit. You just say you found it online. This raises some serious questions like: how much of the other material you have posted has been obtained in this manner?

That's just not cricket.

Blogdai m'man you haven't really answered the question I asked. You're becoming a good dodger.

Blogdai is starting to get the picture now after reading the FMETU piece in the Daily News. http://www.dailynews.lk/2005/02/12/new28.html

My friend, you repeatedly post your cloying requests in each thread of this blog, you don't understand the concept of source protection, and when you get frustrated with blogdai's position you say "make something up".

It makes me ask you, Morquendi, what good are your "assurances" that your sources will be revealed?

It seems like you and the FMETU are birds of a feather: grab any info you can get, call it your own and wait for praise that you did not earn.

You fell curiously silent on this blog immediately after blogdai promised to send someone to Kantipur to verify your anonymous "source". Blogdai happens to know a few things about that little episode now. Feel like printing a retraction?

Maybe the water is getting a little hot here so you'd rather do your posturing through your own home channels, like the Daily News in Sri Lanka. Did you author or have a hand in writing (or should I say, compiling) the FMETU piece?

The shoe is on the other foot now, my opportunist friend. -=blogdai
