Freedom of speech

Alas, the court has taken a decision on the longest pending water war of the world – the Cauvery issue. Of course this would surely irrupt some violence across the two states. Tamil Nadu would get 419 TMC out of Cauvery. Larger than the number Karnataka has to get. Would this be not a bigger reason to start a violent act? Television channels would already be showing up pictures of people rejoicing in Tamil Nadu, calling it as “justice for the deprived”. Also pictures of people in Karnataka calling it a “political game” would be telecasted. I need not know the exact fact and figures for making such statements. What is a TMC? What quantity of farmland can it irrigate? I do not know. But still I can have a rational view on this issue and would comment on the same. Why do I need to keep it myself? After all how many of those people who are either agitated or rejoicing know the facts? So why should I be the only one to keep quiet?

The dictator of a nation was hung. People said it was the dawn of democracy. Some said the trial was not fair. I saw news items on televisions and newspapers carrying reports and their own views on this. Every television channel and newspaper said he was ‘hanged’. Basically, I had a doubt on whether “hanged” was a proper usage of English. I thought the past tense of ‘hang’ was ‘hung’. But who cares? Not me. Neither do I know if it was not a fair trial, nor do I know how he ruled the country, nor do I know the past tense of ‘hang’. But still, you know I had my own view on this too and made it a point that my view was also heard.

I do not know the background of any of these issues. But so what? I have a view point. Who cares if what I say is a valid justification? Why should I check the correctness of my view? When everyone are rational in their comments and do not care to verify the facts, why should I bother? Now the easiest job is to comment on an issue. I can even end up as one of the panelist if I keep blogging my views like this. Who knows? With so many channels popping up every day, may be I can fill in the dearth for experts one day, if I keep up this trend.

Hmm… wait looks like there is some other flash news. Oh, its something about Nifty. What is a Nifty? Who knows? Not me! Wait I need to comment on it!!! Catch you later…
