I'm usually pretty apathetic about government policies and comments, but I'm incensed by what I've been reading recently. Yeah, yet another blogger jumping on the bandwagon, but what is unfair is unfair. Personally, I respect my government for what it has done for the country and the population, but recently, it seems as if there has been an increase in loaded comments. I'm not one to wear my affilation on my sleeve, but I honestly like my country. Its quite safe, generally clean, the people are kind-hearted, although not always considerate. On the whole, its a decent place, and I'm honestly appreciative. Nevertheless, I think comments that all of us need to work at double our capacity without providing statistics is ridiculous. I'm not sure about everyone, but from what I can see, we're a pretty hardworking bunch. We work the assigned office hours, we try not to surf the Internet at work, we try to meet objectives, we obey the rules... In a way, we're a little like sheep, not that its a bad thing. Sheep gives you wool at least. I've never heard of productive herds of lions. Sheep will only give you as much as you feed them and take care of them, so if you think we aren't producing enough, you need to invest more. I'm sure you can import various other breeds and types of animals, but will they fit into the herd? Will they want to follow you? Are they going to keep producing at the same amount? How long will they be as productive? It is the same as comparing apple and watermelons. Both are fruits, yes, but the circumstances are different. You can't say that the apple is 'worse' or 'less productive' than the watermelon because it has lesser seeds. You can eat the skin of the apple, but only the core of the watermelon. Apples grow on trees, and watermelons on the ground. Its a fundamentally different fruit, and unfair to compare them directly.

Sigh. I wonder if anyone who reads this will be someone who can do something. People often discuss about the effectiveness of online media, with many applauding its efficacy. I think the writers of these articles must live in the 1990s or something, because we all know that online media is a hit-and-run thing. Its a lot like the real world, with each website a little store. Blogs like this are smaall shops in large shopping malls, while there are big sites who take up the whole of a certain street or have a building to themselves. So yeah. I'm not likely to be heard at all. But its okay. At least I said something, and this is better than a tree falling in a forest where no one knows a tree fell.
