Always Remember - Government comes before the people

As my heading concludes, it seems government thinks itself better and more important than its people. This is a rather disheartening philosophy considering that the government can't exist without the people under it. And a government is only good as the people under it. In our case here, the people are great and the government is the failure. So the weakest link here is the government not the people.

Believe it or not, this post has nothing to do with our government here in the US. I know it is surprising, i will give you a minute to gain your composure after finding out this startling fact. It is few and far between that i have a post that doesn't emphatically point the finger of injustice at our own government.

However it is very disturbing about this report out about the tragic circumstances and plight of the people in Myanmar. As most of you know, they were hit with a natural disaster there over the last week that has killed untold thousands (50,000 by some reports) and left more than million people homeless. Now with this kind of catastrophe there is virtually no food, shelter, or necessities for these citizens. On top of that, the government is a military regime hell-bent on the power they have.

Well as you can imagine help is needed in this country beyond what is fathomable here. The UN, US, and numerous other countries and charitable organizations from around the world are trying to send supplies, but the regime wouldn't allow them in at first.

Yesterday the junta regime finally did let the UN supplies in but not any people. Mainly because the regime didn't these foreigners ideas to come into the peoples mind.

Well today the UN has stopped its rescue supply deliveries because all of the supplies were commandeered by the regimes forces for its own uses and not getting it to the people that need it. These are basic supplies that every human need to live. It is ridiculous that a government would stoop to this level and deny its people even the most basic of human rights.

I pray that this incident will cause these people in Myanmar to stand up and take back what is rightfully theirs, and the process i pray that they demand their REPRESENTATIVE government afford them the rights they deserve.
