One moment bawling his heart out like a cry baby, the next ecstatic at the "exceeded our expections" turnout (330K at latest count), as though it is a triumph guaranteed to generate sympathy votes. How insensitive is that! Is this buffoon mourning or celebrating the demise of his chief architect? Whoops, I see rain coming down now.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-41793550988922804582015-03-28T09:09:29.012+08:002015-03-28T09:09:29.012+08:00If it's too good to be true, it can not be tru...If it's too good to be true, it can not be true. With the propanganda blasting in our msm 24/ 7. Many of my contacts are hookwinked. They almost treat him as God.<br /><br />Credit must b given when it's due. LKY with his leadership, he did a lot for Singaporean in his earlier years. But not so after the rest of the old guard retired.<br /><br />His choice of using scholars and paying high pays to attract talents to serve in the parlament is flaw.<br /><br />We and the next generations will be facing the consequence. This may also destroy all the good he has built.<br />The silencing of his opponents and abusing the isa to incacerate them is something that I find totally inhumane<br />Perhaps all the above are summed up aptly by LTK's tribute. For that I respect his gut and honesty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-87441264312652877532015-03-28T08:45:33.835+08:002015-03-28T08:45:33.835+08:00The tumult and the shouting dies—

Its effective because it pulls on emotional levers and distracts us from the facts. Thinking is hard, feeling is second nature. Moreover, it the mistake of the reasonable man to focus on the facts. Who dares criticize the lachrymal wrongdoer?

Btw epigenetics is real science, not some cock and bull, father knows best type of 'graduate mother will give smarter kids' voodoo grandmother tales. If you ask me, the epic failure of the man is to pretend he knew best because he had a "good brain". Unfortunately real life depended more than just having a good brain. So when he applied his good brain (and 'judgement') to how he chose new leaders, we have the screw ups we have today. If a good brain alone can solve the problems, Aristotle would have invented quantum mechanics.
