The cult of 'People Power'

[andres]

From the BBC:
"Filipinos chased the Marcoses out of their country bloodlessly, but they couldn't get the Marcos inside themselves out so easily. Nor have Ukrainians found that their new rulers were more honest than the old ones."

Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you view it, the blooper is still there. I've sent an e-mail informing BBC of the mistake...so hurry and download the page now!:D

I do agree with the point the article makes though. People Power can be addictive. It's a quick way to impeach an unpopular ruler. However, People Power only takes care of the symptoms, not the disease. As long as the political system itself is not improved, no amount of People Power can prevent the rise of another corrupt leader. So what do we do? Another revolution? Give it a break!
