Sush shouts back

Without retaliation, evils would one day become extinct from the world -- Anonymous.True, that. And evil lives up to expectations. Here's the BJP hitting back at the Sena for making their pick on the basis of regionalism. And Sushma Swaraj, a woman who tends to invite more respect than criticism, isn't exactly pleased.
"We are pained over the decision. It was not proper to take a decision concerning the next President of India based on regionalism"Which brings me to a topic of discussion -- on *what* basis is the decision made after all? Qualification? Reputation? Potential? Race? Culture? Religion? Skills? Authority? Arrogance? Humility? Diplomacy?What I need, as a citizen of this nation, is more transparency on the entire process. This is a figure who overlooks most national issues. This is a figure who has a reputation of being a rubber-stamp, but actually has potential to make a huge, huge difference. This is a figure that needs to match the arrogance of the West with the humility and love of the East, yet be firm. The toughest job in India, and heck, it better be the best choice.Oh -- and choices -- apparently Pratibha Patil isn't the best. Neither is Shekhawat. Kalam's ruled out. Oops -- we're a nation in doubt of who's the ideal choice. Mega oops. Somewhere down the line, I'd like to see Pavan K Verma in the seat.For now, a certain Gandhi must be giggling to herself -- two decades of bonding, shattered by a Presidential candidate? Brilliant!Whoever said the Italians couldn't play politics ...

Sandil, You are a master writer. And the saying you''ve quoted, "Without retaliation, evils would one day become extinct from the world." is quite true. But since we are normally nothing but our ego, we need evil so we can go on evil-bashing trips. It soothes our ego. Long live evil!
