Personally, I think, this is a very good piece of writing expressing a true yet reasonable concern about our home country.
Well, I would like introduce this to you not because would I like everyone to agree with it.... I always respect differences particularely ideas... Because ideas cannot be killed, it's bulletproof.
And, I don't mind if anyone of you disagrees with it... I wholeheartedly respect that....
Anyway, this is my thought about that writing;
"Thanks for letting me know about this intriguing essay of yours krub....
At the end of the day, even a very optimistic person like me, I believe that bloodshedding would be inevitable....
IF confrontations are based upon non-reasoning causes. Unfortunately, this is what it stands.
Military has too much unproven egoism while the former PM has arrogance. I don't see any good among the two and any good results to the country either.
I'm sorry that I have to put up with anarchy and chaos in my life time again....
I'm even more sorry and worrysome to raise my children within this society.... Unfortunately, I love this society and its people.
I didn't choose to be born there, but I chose and destined myself for it.
I may not be able to do much.... But I'm grateful and satisfied those given chances, and I will take them seriously.
At the end of my day, I just hope to have those damn yet faithful dogs of mine comforting my patriotic mistakes.
Thanks again krub, A.T. "
I don't know why I can't post my comments in his blogs... So I would like to post it here in my blog and would like to share my thoughts/feelings with you...
All constructive comments are appreciated and welcome krub.
I couldn't agree more. What happened was such a big embarassement. A good friend of mine sent me an open letter he wrote on the issue and I'm going to forward it to the Washington Post and the New York Times.
The only good thing that comes out of this is the fact that we now know how we become what we are today and why we do what we do. At least I do. My lifelong question was answered. Please don't ask me to clarify what I just wrote. Let's just leave it at that.
Too bad we know each other only in the cyber world. We have had many good conversations, haven't we?
The more i study social science, the more i think that many basic political and social problems share one similarity. Things are bad? Yes. Can they be worse? Yes. Can they be better? Yes. The question is then how to be better. Do you continue with the path that has brought you to this half-good, half-bad state, or do you wish to shift another path? The other thing is whether we focus on the outcome, thinking it doesn't matter what means we use, as long as the outcome is the right one? Or does is it more important that we use the right means and process?
Do I have the answer to these questions? No, I don't. My position is that this is a complex problem and that it's best to sit somewhere in the middle, recognising all the nuances of this major headache.
เพราะทางนี้เขากำลังทำงานกันอยู่และอะไรๆๆก็เริ่มกระจ่างมากขึ้นแล้วหละคะ ไม่รู้ว่าจะ Go on หรือ Go error ก็คอยติดตามดูกันเถอะคะ ระหว่างรอ ฉันขอแนะนำเตรียม น้ำผึ้ง กับน้ำมะนาว ไว้ให้พร้อมนะคะ แก้เจ้บคะ เดี๋ยวหอนไม่คล่อง
As the owner of this blog, I am really glad to see your comments.
However, as a scholar, I would like to see them based on reasoning, polite, constructive discussions.
Please keep in mind that writting expression is a form of "filtered" communications. It reflects your best thoughts with full self-control. Thus, the more you express yourself in a non-constructive fashion, the more you've shown "internal" you!!
I would like to be friends to all of you, but I would be happy if you could control your language properly as a civilized people suppose to do.
================================= Note: My life has been intertwined with works and many others. New responsibility has emerged, resulting less and less time for my ordinary life. Although, a love to write is still intact... But having less time is related to having less imagination.... Therefore, I could not come up with new writings for quite some times.
It might be a good time for me to leave this forum for moment.... Please take it as Mr. A.T. is having a sabbactatical leave or something like that....
As noted above, my love to write is still the same... and will not be changed. Sometimes somehow, I hope I could come back and give some thoughts in this blog once more.
Cheers, Mr. A.T. June 6th, 2008

Hello,
My pen-name in Pantip is amatuer translator. Actually, I'm a lousy translator with lame translation. My pen-name is somewhat misleading, I have no background in linguistics what-so-ever. Anyway I love to read, write and communicate with people...
Reading is my most favorite hobby. I read everything from shopping bags to articles in theoretical physics. I do research and teaching for my living. So, reading, writing, thinking and doing research works are my everyday routine.
I would like to define myself as a person who is accepting new ideas and adopting those into my way of life.
I believe in power of knowledge/education. I think every society can be a better society with knowledge. Ignorance can be dispelled by it. Humanity can live sustainably and harmoniously with each other along with its biosphere with understandings in the nature surrounding it.
Apart from my philosophical thoughts reflecting who I am, I can tell you something I like or love in particular;
I love dogs.... Particularly, labradore retrievers.... One day, I would like to spend my time and life with them as a big part of my family.
Zhuge Liang is my hero. With his wisdom and faithfulness, he led a tiny army to a mighty and formidable kingdom. He left his humble residence with a hope to come back. But, sadly, he had never returned and died far far away from home in a horse carriage in a battle field. If I could choose where I would, I would say where-ever my lovely wife was nearby.
I value happiness and my family as my first priority. My profession and my philosophy come in the second. Pursuit in wealth has never been in my desire.
I'm glad to be your friend, and look forward to seeing you around krub.
