Politics & Actors....

Its been a great fun to watch all actors launching a party and boasting to become the next CM of TN. Really sad for my own people. What a stage we have set ourselves?

True, the blame should be more on ourselves than the actors.
How many of us know the personal details of the candidate of our constituency when we go for voting? His educational background? His personal background? His past political experience? Whats his contribution to that constituency or any other for that matter? His contribution to the society? His ideology? etc etc ...

When we set out to buy just a cell phone (worth 10,000 RS) we do a comparison of the features, battery life, price range etc etc. We spend atleast a day or two to research (Some spend a week) .... Have we tried this when we go out to VOTE. (Its more precious than cellphone). Price hike in petrol & LPG would have costed you more than this. Have we ever thought of this?

We walk to the booth to select a candidate whom we see as the BEST in the list of WORST available. Have we thought of why have they(all major political parties) fielded these rotten eggs as canditates. Its because we have got accustomed to pick from the lot of worst available.
Atleast lets try this in the coming election. There may be an deserving independent candidate search for him and vote.

Iam going to try this ....
