Not just here, but everywhere else. But remember too that it was not politicians that rebuilt Japan and Germany from the devastation of World War 2. There was no great prime minister or chancellor that you can point out too who made those 2 countries great again. It was Toyota, Sony, BMW, Mercedes, etc. It was the private sector that carried the burden. It was private citizens doing hard work in whatever job it is that they do.<br /><br />So work hard and play nice. The country depends on it.Don Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297854189546818430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596131824012016471.post-9723645284893055462011-05-22T18:29:57.651+08:002011-05-22T18:29:57.651+08:00This morning a street kid was ahead of me queueing...This morning a street kid was ahead of me queueing at a community grocery check- out counter. He had to go back inside the store because his 20-peso bill had fallen out of his pocket. He only had coins left. He counted the coins; he was short by P4.50. He moved to return a sachet of Champion detergent powder. I meant to stop him and to offer to pay for it, but the cashier beat me to it. She said it was OK, she'd cover it for him. I looked at the cashier, a dark, scrawny girl fresh from high school who must have been forced by circumstance to work and give up college education. Both of them smiled. I was humbled. This country has hope. But we should stop looking at the top for the solution. It is found in the poorest in our midst.Yaw Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15022803647109053217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596131824012016471.post-84555555533947411912011-05-21T20:56:53.234+08:002011-05-21T20:56:53.234+08:00It is precisely because the NATION IS BROKEN why w...It is precisely because the NATION IS BROKEN why we need people to BUILD IT!
