For some strange reason a portion (a small portion at that) of the Sri Lankan people are stuck in utter disbelief and confusion. That is those who didn’t vote for the current government. For some reason hard core UNP supporters and Hard core anti-government supporters (the difference being a thin line) are now reduced to screaming in desperation at the apparent “state” of the country.
They seem to be just mystified at how the Sri Lankan people (I guess it is now just reduced to just the Sinhalese) are putting up with the current administration. The cost of living is almost the double since MR came to power. There’s enough evidence of corruption and 109 (something) ministers who seem to be enjoying it all and the obvious lack of interest in latest journalist who was beaten up.
The Opposition (As the UNPers and Anti-Govt activists are called these days) are reduced to holding some protests and/or joining a protest by someone else. By all accounts the JVP is doing a much better job at showing opposition to the government, (and the UNP are meekly following them) but due to Magic of MR even its split in two. We’ll have to wait and see how well the JVP would fare in the General strike planned on the 10th.
For some reason the Masses are still with the government. As by some mysterious way Mahinda has “captured” the Sinhalese people and are holding them mesmerized and blind to the ill-effects of his administration.
Increasingly the Sinhalese are being blamed by the opposition due to the lack of action and it’s getting increasingly borderline racist. In the Blogosphere people are terming us Lazy and some are portraying us as racists. (Like ramblingsmind who has a very well written article portraying the Sinhalese as Voldemort Supporters. ie. A bunch of bigots/racists who go running around killing people for fun). Some like indi is outraged at the MOD’s outrage towards journalists.
No one’s demanding to know why the SLPI sent Terrorist to Denmark. No one’s even questioning how some director of the Film Cooperation turned out to be the master mind of most of the suicide bombers because they arnt sure who’s to blame… No questioning those is violating the “freedom of expression”
The really funny thing is the opposition seems to think that the Quality of Life is the most important thing in life. IT’s not. We had that when the UNP were in charge making peace with the LTTE. But we chose to ignore that and vote for Mahinda who promised War. If peace is the time when the enemy kills openly and strengthens themselves while we look on with utter disbelief at the actions of the govt. (I remember one govt. minister’s claim that Informants/intelligence operatives are no-longer their responsibility because their services are no longer required)
What did Ranil do other than giving tax cuts to the Rich? Giving equipment and the International recognition to the Tigers? Why the Hell would we ever want to go back to that life? This is far better. Even with the random chance of being blown to pieces by a suicide bomber. The most important thing is that we do not cave in to terrorism. Why do we need to be forced in to accepting demands of terrorists? We are Almost Free. At least there’s no foreign hand dictating our future (obviously that is)
The Really Really funny thing is that those who are shouting about the cost of living are sooo far better off than those who’re suffering, (and would qualify as Rich). Those who shout about the freedom of media hardly read a Local news paper and most of them seem to be living abroad/or in central Colombo and crying out in Desperation.

Ariel, you’re right. Sort of. However, it’s RAW garlic and onions that have been linked to hemolytic anemia in dogs. Both garlic powder and onion powder have not been shown to be toxic, especially in “seasoning amounts”. I feed these to my dog, Sam and TRUST ME when I say that I wouldn’t give him anything that would hurt him!
