Someone wrote aboutthat situation in a brilliant manner explaining democracy and the Constitution:

“The founders did not want an efficient government. They feared tyranny and created a regime that made governance difficult. Power was diffused among local, state and federal governments, each with their own rights and privileges. Even the legislative branch was divided into two houses. It was a government created to do little, and what little it could do was meant to be done slowly. The founders' fear was simple: Humans are by nature self-serving and prone to corruption. Thus the first purpose of the regime was to pit those who wished to govern against one other in order to thwart their designs. Except for times of emergency or of overwhelming consensus, the founders liked what we today call gridlock”.

NDTV IS A SHINING EXAMPLE FOR THE WORD 'PRESTITUTE' which is defined as: "Those who peddle news after painting a molehill like an attractive mountain and sell it to gullible people who want only excitement are called Prestitutes."

But should be broken down in the form of down cash payment on possession, monthly payment for a fixed number of years, an insurance policy for a fixed sum which will entitle them to a regular monthly payment till death and on that occurrence a lumpsum payment. If proper ratio is either fixed or given as an option, while the immediate outgo will be reasonable, farmers will rest assured that their future will not be in jeopardy. Alternative options: Offer of a larger area in a different area; offer of a bank loan ...

One flop party by another: The Congress's flop party - known as Iftar Party: Imagine to what depth Congress has descended when you find the likes of Nitish Kumar, Sharad Yadav and what do you know Derek O’Brien! at the table with Sonia Gandhi! To rub salt in the wound the list of the other criminals who did not find her good enough company should have hurt Sonia Gandhi more - CPI's rep Salem and CPM's rep D.Raja (anyone below their rank would not have been allowed entry by security for being unknown!), RLD's Ajit Singh. As far as Rahul G. was concerned of all people he could find only Kanimozhi for his company and what a inane question to ask of her: AIADMK's closeness to BJP! The question itself is an answer to another question doing the rounds: How intelligent is Rahul in political matters! I do not blame any of these leaders. I blame the guy who advised them to have a party at all and to cap it, invite media to the party! One last query: Why it seems not a ...
