A chit chat about Philippine Politics, baits and pests.

Let us get back to Juan and Pedro after their few months of disappearance. . .

Pedro:  Juan, what are you doing?

Juan:  I’m trying to catch mice Pedro. A battalion of those restless vermin just bore a hole on my new pair of shoes.

Pedro:  That’s tragic Juan, but it seems your trap just won’t work.

Juan:  Yes, those pests must have evolved to think like humans Pedro. They always get away with my bait and elude the trap.

Pedro:  Speaking about “human-thinking” mice, here we go again for the coming elections Juan. We are changing the way to fill our ballots by shading and the government bought lots of automated counting machines to make the counting easy.

Juan:  But if we are even thinking like mice Pedro,  it is easy to compare that if we can’t change our country to the better by writing the names of candidates that we voted , how much more could we do it by shading our ballots to be interpreted by automated counting machines?

Pedro:  You got it Juan. We all had this smart political talk before and look who were talking right now.

Juan:  I could bet on mice Pedro, no matter how they get away with my bait they will keep coming back.

Pedro:  And if we are indeed thinking like mice, if they get away with it last time, they will do it again.

Juan:  You said it Pedro.  Hmmmnnnn, we are again having blackouts. Isn’t that strange? We haven’t got blackouts a bit long enough, how could it happen this time?

Pedro:  It’s amusing Juan, that’s what mice do, they do it best in the dark.

Juan:  That’s the way it is, Pedro. That’s just the way it is.

    Seems to me the sneaky little mice are causing the blackouts. As you said, they do their best work in the dark.

    Oh, how I love the Sunshine Law. Government in the sunshine. It doesn’t work but it has a nice ring to it.

    Wow. I love the way you used a humourous story to convey your view towards politics. It’s really very cool and perceptive. I wonder, have you read the book Of Mice And Men before? It’s not really relevant to the topic but it offers interesting ideas on humanity as well.
