Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

I have been under the misunderstanding that the military already couped, and that they had not given the country back to the people.

Frem's totally right, someone made a really good point about that recently, who actually gives power back? A rare individual, the likes of which is once in a generation.

Yeah, I called this pretty much when the celebrations started.

Riona: I'm not so sure it's as rare as you say, but rather the artifact of people who would give up power tending to AVOID it. So we never really see them in a position to do so.
