The Golden Rule and politics.

People in power forget that all draconian laws they make (and justify making) to control everyone/thing but themselves will not be repealed by those that replace them, but will be used against them in turn.

Remember: Do to others as you would have them do to you. Because when it is time, they will do to you. And do to you good and hard. The very same things you did to them.

The INC has experienced this time and again but has not learnt from it. The BJP will experience it at some point, though whether they will learn anything is anyone’s guess.

Of course, the only constant losers in this race to make more and more oppressive and controlling laws are the common people like you and me. And we have nowhere to run, for voting for one or against the other does not change the laws that are made to control us in the first place. That job was supposed to be performed by the courts with help from the media in a real democracy. But real democracy is as elusive as impartial and judicious courts or free, fair, and courageous media.

So, who do we turn to for succour? Search me. Damned if I know.
