the SONA of the president dealt extensively on the macro economics achievement and reforms of the Arroyo Administration, and how the scorecard of accomplishments since the last SONA compares to the promises of 2006…

I dont think visions as what they said turns into reality!

I can say that I am so young yet so disappointing of our situations..

I believe most, if not all, of the bloggers here are engaged in productive work, either as employees or employers or free-lancers. I don’t know if there is someone among us here who does nothing but live on the interest of a fabulous inherited wealth.

So, it’s not as if bloggers here do nothing but spend the whole day in front of a computer just blogging away. I’m sure most, if not all, of us here are already hard at work, “laying the nuts and bolts”, as you have termed it, toward achieving a better future for our country.

So, don’t be dismayed if sometimes bloggers here appear to be hair-splitting. You may not believe it, but open and intense discussions can give more clarity to one’s vision and promote wider consensus which, hopefully, will lead us all to a common roadmap.

Touché.

But rather than splitting hairs and trying to justify one’s argument about a vision, it is now prime time to move forward and take on the roadmap( if one exist) to at least lay down the nuts & bolts in the hope of achieving this vision.

Everyone, I think, really hope that the vision can be realized despite each individual argument. Everyone is trying to put in their share…. a social science teacher who help shape his students to achieve their dreams, an 18 year old who smokes while she writes to present at least an argument, a health sounding blog monicker who keeps up with everyone to outline his own argument, etc…etc. All in the spirit of willingness to contribute.

I suggest that you guys use this blog forum for all of you to help even create a roadmap to the vision instead of presenting different arguments, be-laboring, whining and splitting hairs over what’s been said. Don’t be like the current crop of politicians who only knows best to argue and end up achieving nothing.

Internet, despite the still low penetration in the country, is well aligned with the vision. Use it to help build blocks towards 1st world…all of you have the power to. Who knows, all of you will be the same people who’ll really work with each other to achieve such dreams.

Hmmmm, considering that the same old recycled election taglines and hollow-headed slogans work term in and term out kind of blows that theory out of the water.

It’s either that or Pinoys know what bullshit smells like.
