@idnapper I hear ya!

I second the motion. Unless we're talking antique jewelry which can be resold. RT @JimAyson: I admit I don't have a fondness for antiques...

@maepaulino Ano yan, competing with Opera?

Comment in my food blog: another idea of recipe… i know how to cook… but this one is new for new. New for new? Huh? Whoa! Spammer pala.

@hotmanila Problem with Phils is that people think of US-style democracy as a universal standard for an ideal government.

@hotmanila So... an uninformed and irrational mob is always preferable over Plato's informed and benevolent ruler-king?

@hotmanila Exactly. That's why I don't believe that real democracy exists. There is only mobocracy which is used to legitimize oligarchies.

@hotmanila But that's precisely the point -- democracy is a dictatorship by the many who aren't always right nor wise nor benevolent

@hotmanila You believe Churchill is correct?

@hotmanila In short, when we say we fight to protect democracy, what is it we want to protect? The dream world or the mere term?

@hotmanila Is having ONE dictator worse than being dictated upon by an UNTHINKING MOB whose decisions we have to abide with?
