So, I think that the other sides need to engage it at that level. There will never be a perfect democracy, but once a country starts on the road of democracy I don't see how they can turn back.Craig S.

That is because we saw the dirty vote buying politics up close when my wife's father twice ran for local office in the Isan region. My wife's father is one of the most honest men I have ever know, needless to say he did not win either time due to vote buying. We have great hope for the new PM.--keep the blogs coming..RogerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931886702669940941.post-56933702619106738642008-12-26T18:54:00.000+07:002008-12-26T18:54:00.000+07:00Yes, I am aware that there have been some Scientol...Yes, I am aware that there have been some Scientology ads appearing through my google ads. I've been debating whether or not to block them. I do believe in religious freedom, but my opinion of Scientology is very low. The only ads I've thus far blocked are some travel to burma ads. I'm leaning on the side of not blocking religious ads. <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for your comment. And yes, I agree on the Thailand situation. I'm really hopeful that this is about to change.Craig S.
