I fuly endorse what has been written. As our circumstances would have it, the worst written about the issues only gets real with time..."que lastima"....... There used to be empty promises and worst situation in the passed. Now there is terrifying situation and a continuing MUTE.........

Revolution is just an inevitable turn of events. Even now it is reversible. You failed to see my point. My point is, that by cutting of basic facilities, like electricity, can reduce well-educated, middle class people to sheer frustration, anger and nervous wrecks, what are the poor going to do, who are already committing suicides as they are not able to support their families. I am not as disgruntled as I was before because the load shedding scenario has improved a teeny weeny little bit. Now it’s only for 10 hours rather than 14 hrs. I thank WAPDA for taking away 4-6 excruciating hours of darkness, heat, anger, misery. If we are provided with basic facilities, indiscriminately, if our rights are provided to us, whether they are in the form of staple food actually being provided in abundance to us rather than the best part being exported away, what reason would anyone have then to even complain? But judging from how people elect the same crooks again and again as ‘runners’ of this nation, then those people deserve to be trodden upon by the same elected crooks. And economy??? Don’t make me laugh. What bleeding economy do we have anyway? The one in which our sweet earned taxes are spent on feeding many people in the ‘seats’, or which furnishes them with private jets? The one where price hike is the only thing which is abundant and increasing a hundred times more than population is? Taking away suffering is tantamount to taking away a large chunk of crime. And it’s not all that difficult to accomplish.

A revolution might sound a pretty romantic solution to our problems but historically revolutions have been very bloody and they don't have any immediate impact on the economy.
