I
usually shy away from the topic of politics because one, more often
than not, politics is a very stressing issue to tackle and two, I have
long since moved on from the political/philosophical provocateur I was
when I was younger into a writer with genuine appreciation for life.

Now
I am appalled to even write about politics, I usually write about the
things I missed out on when I was busy contemplating my agnosticism or
rabidly bashing political machinations in online message boards.Now I
write about things that I have neglected for so long; about things that
make me feel alive.I promised myself that this blog would never be a
channel for political prattle.

With
the recent culmination of events in the political scene however, I felt
the obligation to put in my 2 cents on the matter.I feel that this mobocracy we Filipinos
are exhibiting is a cancer that eats away the essence of
democracy.Democracy empowers the people, but there are ramifications of
it that we need to see—the most pertinent one is irresponsible
democracy; the kind of democracy that takes all its grievances to the
streets; the kind that cops out by circumventing its own constitution.
