Cowardice: Turning Deaf Ears and Bl

Subject: Re: Cowardice: Turning Deaf Ears and Blind Eyes to the Censorship

Dear Kyaw Kyaw Htut,
	Perhaps, it is the kind of democracy they are talking about.  It
seems to me that even if (only god help them) these democratic (themselves
called but being relevent is questionable) win SPDC, the new BSPP or SPDC
or the new dictatorship will take place.  They are not trying to change
the system but they are trying to change their position only.  Whatelse?
Have we ever heard of any of these organizations' activities to help the
people except for their political gains?  That revolution is fading away
anyway.  See what the situation in 1988 and at present.  Why we couldn't
take lessons and analyse it for the betterment of the revolution?  No one
really wants to change.  All are calling for a change but no one wants a
change even in themselves.  For which reasons, SPDC will change compare to
this situation?  
	Man, for some people the struggle and the revolution is their
carrier and so, they are making the best out of it for themselves but
noting else for the democracy and the betterment of the people.  I hate
writing this when I am here in US.  Next two years.  I couldn't wait to
get back.  I feel ashame to use the word "revolution" since ours is not.

Yours sincerely,
Kyaw Zay Ya

There is no other reasons which a reasonable Burma watcher can presume to
know as to why Burmanet-l changed from an unmoderated to an moderated
list-server.

Kaing-kyunn-hmi, kyunn-kaing-hmi policy.  But it is rather a conspiracy for
abusing their revolutionary status in exchange of personal
non-revolutionary gains than a collaboration or correlation for
revitalizing the waning revolutionary tide.

Burmanet-l reveals these organizations and individuals' intolerance towards
full freedom.  They follow the same footsteps of Asian dictators Lee Kuan
Yew, Mahathir, Ne Win.  These great oppressors of Asia have the unchanged
opinion that Democracy is not fit for Asians.  So is the freedom of
expression.
