The despotic Gulag-torture-pistol-to-your-head days are over! At last sleep without neighbors being dragged out of their homes and disappearing into oblivion. No more screams behind closed doors. No more extrajudicial killings in broad daylight. That’s what it was like before December 23, 2007 – because that’s what military dictatorships do, isn’t it? So it must have been that way.
Conversely, today the sun is smiling even warmer than ever on the country which is Thailand. Democracy has returned and the dark days are over. It’s a time to rejoice, a time to celebrate those sweet freedoms which has been missed so dearly – so far only the one to visit adult web sites for the first time in years, but everything will be pure and good under a democratic government. Just the way it used to be.
For those who have reservations: A flawed democracy is still better than none, as repeatedly mentioned in this context. As a matter of fact, this is a lesson for all aspects of life. Next time you have pneumonia, don’t bother looking for treatment. Accept it. It could also be lung cancer.
