I have nothing to say......

(But that is no excuse for not ranting)

Hey bhagwaan ! Why does the world grudge my vacation ? Here I am, hoping to enjoy my time by watching path breaking cinema such as this *, it is then that some dumb journalist (I know it is redundant) decides to switch to pontiff mode and delivers what is only know as "common man rhetoric". Have a taste of this triteness (via the great Signalman). Listen baldy, I understand you have to earn your living, since I have no moral objection to lying or making fool of fools, I heartily approve of the vocation you have chosen. But why do you decide to go all Sagarika Ghose, and invite my wrath, the best blogger** India ever had.

Anyway screw the baldy, what I can not put up with is this line

"The voter now sets much greater store by the quality of governance"

1. Voter does nothing of the sort.
2. Further voter is incapable of doing any such thing, because voter is incurably stupid and hopelessly naive.
3. What voter can do is internalize received wisdom and what is the more common case, received folly. Ideology bordering on theology, embraced in form of vacuous slogans is the hallmark of democracy.
4. Common man is null, cipher, zero, shunya. The thing with zero is, whatever operations you perform on it, add,multiply, it remains zero. Delusion in singular is not insight in plural.
5. What voter wants is free lunches, hence socialism (and KBC)
6. Zeroes are not content to live on scrapings of non-zeroes, they want to be non-zeroes, only being zero they attempt to accomplish this by strangling the non-zeroes. In the valley of ignorant, mediocre is the king.

In conclusion, I can only say "death to common"

* Jokes apart, it is a good movie, watch it. (Especially VNS)
** I think, the only reason I am not recognized as the best must be due to some evil conspiracy by the signalman. Neo, where are thou !
