Who'll Stop the Rain

Long as i remember....the song is as simple as it can get while treating one of the most complex topics - the system. I retreat again to this song in times of FLU. Do we really believe this shit about the SWINE Flu - come on man, tell me you have more brains, more grey matter than to believe in this hogwash. 

The swine flu outbreak was in March 2009 - but then it took an ugly turn a couple of days ago and now thats all we hear and see. To be precise it was the 27th of April 2009 - Monday http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/27/world/27flu.html?scp=19&sq=&st=nyt . Guess what it was a pandemic in the article on the 27th of April while we didnt know what it was about 3 days ago. No news no nothing....suddenly its in our faces...bright red and infectious......

Don't you guys see that there is a cover up in progress - lets take a look at the news that was going on before this - 

1. Storm of Violence in Iraq Strains Its Security Forces - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/25/world/middleeast/25iraq.html?scp=31&sq=&st=nyt

2. U.S. Questions Pakistan’s Will to Stop Taliban -

3. U.S. Stymied as Guns Flow to Mexican Cartels

These key news articles are now buried under heaps of bullshit on the SWINE Flu. I feel it is quite hilarious given the fact that there was another bit of news which has been abandoned as well - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/20/health/policy/20food.html?scp=62&sq=&st=nyt

Lets face it, the swine flu is a diversion, used by the powers to be to scare us into believing that something porcine this way comes to devour our lives - huhuhuhahahahahahaha.

SWINE FLU is not a real thing, people are dying in Mexico City - i dont see any real evidence of this, the mexican officials are declaring people dying of similar symptoms as of dying with Swine flu. Lets take this objectively - the symptoms of Swine Flu is the same as Flu - you know that which happens to everybody.

So somebody gets the flu in Switzerland(Yes the flu has now spread to Helvetic borders) and the lazy doctor wants to be famous says - SWINE FLU - of course - yus - look at him - high fever - shivering it has to be Swine flu. 

Now Switzerland on high - alert . WHAT THE FUCK ??????????

Thankfully in India we have to contend with the general elections and hence we are still not interested so much about this Flu. I was standing in the voting que today a family in front of me were discussing 'some flu' that has been going around - i chuckled to myself....greatful.

Clouds of mystery pourin confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, tryin to find the sun; And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain.

Everybody is putting in their two pence in the wishing well, dropping honest word about the general elections, i simply will not be left out. This is the time for us to sit back and collect our thoughts, we are going to be the part of a democratic process. Government of the people, for the people by the people. Very powerful statement that. 

Most educated people choose to ensure that they do not vote. It is a time honoured cliche to say - What difference man?! I say fuck the difference, every vote counts! Just as i utter those words i feel embarassed, this is because my statement is as much a cliche itself. 

So i say i don't care if it makes a difference or not, whether my vote counts in the 'democratic process' , it is my fair share. I am entitled to my vote. Whenever i think of the vote i think of it as a gift, given to me (to us) by our elders, our forefathers. The people who stood up and asked for democracy, nay who fought for it. Not voting is like spitting on their efforts, their fight, their valour - they bled for this most basic right - Right to Universal Adult Franchise.

Come 30th April 2009 - i ask every Mumbaikar to cast his/her vote. Be proud of our democracy, which was fought with sheer sweat and guts. Signify their blood spilt on our streets as a blot on your finger - GO OUT AND TAKE WHAT'S YOURS - THE VOTE
