inodoro, i cannot agree about anything with your “metaphor” if i want to. it just doesn’t compute. enough of this simple-minded “debate”.

cjv, while you guys at it, also add on-line income tax file on, application for pensions, all renewals, including vehicles registrations, hunting licenses, even voting registrations. we have been doing it now, with an attached signature and that’s about it, for driver’s we still need to have a picture taking every five years, paspost just send in the forms, with an attached pics signed by your doc, dentist or pharmacist, no need to get out the comfort of your home and a little grease money to those lazy civil servants lest you will be on the bottom of the file…

Abe, thanks i needed that clarification.

KG, i also like Devils’ idea of online legislation. As much as possible, let’s make political representatives redundant. Anyway, the technology for this is already available and would only become cheaper with time.

bencard,

let me spell this out (drat: spelling it out kills the metaphor) without literally spelling it out:

we agree who this reckless driver is. you just don’t agree that we call her “balasubas”.

whenever traffic rules are violated, IF the violater is FORTUNATELY caught, an attending traffic officer issues a ticket.

hint: the red light is a symbolic object that CANNOT hand in the violation ticket. so who could that entity be?

context: beating the red light is not illegal. a repeated act of driving recklessness, however, demands, at the very least, that a reprimand be lashed out at this balasubas driver.

hint: the red light cannot talk.

question: what then is the stop light–this device that tries to put order in the street? certainly not the issuing officer.

hint, hint, bencard: it’s your mantra!

drat again.

who issues the ticket: the red light?

“if i was parroting benigno, he was parroting nick joaquin, who was parroting jose rizal.”

you taking that as a compliment then? diminishing trickles of returns you have there. you build on the shoulders of the giant, not merely parrot them. ever wonder if a parrot even thinks what it is saying?

inodoro, see you are even confused with your own “metaphor”. aren’t you comparing sc to a red light and pgma the driver in connection with her e.o’s that were declared unconstitutional? (not sc beating the red light that you now are accusing me of talking about.) see how your mind works?

the crap is what you see in your environment. you are not inodoro for nothing. if i was parroting benigno, he was parroting nick joaquin, who was parroting jose rizal.

and cut the crap about this simple-mind mentality. your parroting benigs only reinforces benigs theory about pinoy’s lack of originality.

drat. you still don’t know your metaphor. ah, what semantics can do to a highly literal linear brain.

who’s talking about s.c. beating the red light. indeed the red light is a predictable sequence of a device. who’s using her driving skill to her advantage, with or without risking the issuance of a ticket? indeed beating the red light is nothing illegal. but this does not diminish the recklessness of the act–it’s joy ride fun isn’t it?
