Punzi's Corner Blog: Heads should be rolling...

Monday, November 07, 2005
This day in history from:

Heads should be rolling...

I don't get it.

SNAFUs such as this and this (oh yeah and this, too which came to my mind because of this) should have resulted in butts kicked, fingers severed and heads served in silver platters.

But they are not. Why?

Oh wait a minute! I get it! It could be any of the following:

a) No moral authority to kick butts and/or demand fingers/heads

b) The superiors are just as inferior (or just as deserving to have their butts kicked, etc.)

c) Buying loyalty from these "birds of the same feather" by not kicking their butts, etc.

d) All of the above

e) None of the above

I know you can choose the correct answer yourself.

But remember this. Sovereignty resides in the people all government authority emanates from them (Section 1, Article II, 1987 Constitution). Hence, we are their ultimate superiors so any fault they make surely comes back to us.

We truly got (and continue to get) the government we deserve.

Pity.

1 Objection(s):

At 10:29 PM, Anonymous said...: Atty. Punz, I think it is because the government is itself committing the greatest gaffe of all, that of GMA claiming to be President of the Philippines.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
