The TRC and Tamashas

The Worst

I decided to start with the worst because I like giving bad news first.

What's with the Telecom Regulatory Commission TRC and civil liberties? It seems that they can never suppress enough. Today they announced that mobile phones in private schools will be banned and they hope to erect phone booths within the schools as an alternative. Firstly, they have no right to enforce such rules on private schools. (or maybe they do...I don't know...but still...). There are pros and cons to having a mobile phone at school, and some may argue that the cons overcome the pros significantly enough to advocate such a rule. However, I feel that private schools should be given the right to decide on these rules. To have the government declare it as law is a blatant encroachment of the liberties of the school and people.

The Best

We got free money! The International Monetary Fund (IMF) gave us $2.6 billion dollars! YAY! We are going to have the biggest Tamasha in the history of the world. Did somebody say "How about paying it back?". I say, who cares! If the Americans can borrow and spend, so can we. So let's go celebrate!
