Drugged!

Just today I found my chance to read the latest news. Let's see.

1. Colin Firth wins Best Actor at the Oscars for "The King's Speech". So, the Brits hit big time this year.

2. Libya is still struggling with anti- and pro-Gadhafi forces trying to win each other over. 
Ok, so they are trying to do what Egypt has done. Sorry for the dictators. Your time is up.

3. Around 7,500 human rights victims of the Marcos regime will receive $1,000 compensation each for their suffering under the dictator's government. http://photoblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/03/01/6160384-a-victim-of-the-ferdinand-marcos-regime-cries-as-he-finally-receives-compensation.
I say they should be paid more. 

4. Rep. Ronald Singson resigns from Congress after being jailed in Hongkong for cocaine: http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/news/369653,cocaine-hong-kong-resigns.html

Now that caught my attention.

At least he practiced delicadeza by resigning. Never mind the other reasons for resigning. The mere fact that he showed humility by admitting that he is a drug addict. However, I still cannot help but feel disgust for him having that kind of addiction. That only shows how some people are so gullible in voting him as a congressman. Of course, we cannot really judge a book by its cover. And the ironic part of this all is that after the 18 months has passed, people will forget how he was once a "drug addict" and will vote for him again in the near future.

I just hope by that time, people will be more intelligent.

And to Mr. Singson, if you are truly a public servant, you know very well that helping other people does not happen only in Congress. Try acting like a good, law-abiding private citizen. Who knows, your good looks can still get you somewhere.

Enough said.
