At least she’s made ‘em most corrupt

The month long speculation of a possible understanding between the ruling Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and the opposition Awami League, on electoral reforms, suffered a major setback as BNP decided to hand over the charge of the interim government to the former Chief Justice K. M. Hassan. This has sparked yet another political crisis in the country as the opposition parties charge K. M. Hassan for being an affiliate of the ruling party.

He is billed as the most charismatic leader to have emerged in the United States of America since John F. Kennedy

Obama might be inexperienced but has all the makings of a sensible leader. During the seven years of his tenure as Illinois Senator, Obama was rated as one of the most efficient senators by the people and the media. But many of his own colleagues do not seem to support him much. His bipartisan approach and support to the Republicans on many issues have given him the image to ‘too idealistic a politician’.

Compare this with local public knowledge on national issues during Evo Morales’ election last December in Bolivia and you’d understand where the non correlation pops in! Voters were familiar with the issues, very real and important ones like national control over natural gas and other resources, which has overwhelming popular support including indigenous rights, women’s rights, land rights and water rights, which are clearly on the political agenda, among many others. The population chose someone from their own ranks, not a representative of narrow sectors of privilege. There was ‘real’ participation, and not just pushing a lever once every few years.

Critics of physical segregation of motor vehicles

Critics of physical segregation of motor vehicles may argue that cities in India do not have enough space left for further construction of roads. But the fact of the matter is that the total space occupied by roads is far less than those in other cities. In three metropolitan cities of India, the total space occupied by roads is less than the standard international norm of 20% to 30%.
