Title: [Assam] Re: On Systems and Leaders.
*** You confuse the heck out of me. Now you are pro-reform? Not that I dislike the notion, but I thought you disagreed with this reform call none-sense. You don't believe it because the people are bad, that reforms won't achieve anything since there are no leaders, so on and so forth
 
You are confused because you are not using the garden variety logic. It is simple.
Where did I say I am against reform? I am saying that you must know what reform to do and how.  Simply saying that reform is needed will not do any purpose, because we all know that reform is needed. 
 
*** As I said I am not an expert to delineate the exact item that need reforms. That will have to be pinned down by people with recognized expertise in the field. And they will be the ones to recommend required reforms. It is absurd for you to trash calls for reforms, just because the caller cannot give you specific recommendations.
 
Now I understand. You are neither the patent, nor the doctor, but looks like you are just a visiting guest who is just casually making a remark, "BTW the condition of the patent is terrible and may die soon. Let some doctor come a cure him."
 
No I would not thrash you for making that remark. In fact I would say, "Thank you sir, for your concern and advice. Of course we all know the patent is sick and we are all worried and trying our best and also seeking some expert doctor to come a diagnose the disease and give some medicine. Please forgive me if I lost my temper and did not behave properly. As you know the patent is my mother and we all are very much worried for her. BTW could you tell us if you know some good physician in this field who can cure my mother? We all will be so pleased".
 
Ow that is a great relief. Now that we agree with you, we hope you don't have to scare all of us again to take Assam away from the mother.

Nobody is against reform. If you have any specific reform to suggest, why don't you put it on the table for discussion. You are harping about reform but not discussing what reform or how to do it. Everybody knows India need reform. But what and how? That is the question. Don't be just a patent, try to be a doctor.

>You are harping about reform but not discussing what reform

*** In every facet of governance.

>But what and how?

*** As I said I am not an expert to delineate the exact item that need reforms. That will have to be pinned down by people with recognized expertise in the field. And they will be the ones to recommend reqquired reforms. It is absurd for you to trash calls for reforms, just because the caller cannot give you specific recommendations.

But at a conceptual level, I sure can tell you what is wrong and what needs doing in areas I have familiarity with. Just give me a subject, and I will see if I can't set out solutions in a conceptual level.


>That is the question. Don't be just a patent, try to be a doctor.

*** You are getting into philosophy again. Please spare me that stuff. I am not up to your level on these things.
