the red light beacons

At first I had been Irritated that such a Mundane, Useless thing is getting SO much time. What came to my mind was: 'Such Insistence on Non-Essentials!'

It had started with the supreme court of India giving out an Absolutely Worthless statement to the effect that 'Only high dignitaries can use the red beacon on cars.' On the face of it, every tom, dick, harry and his cousin has one on his car. But with the court's pronouncement, the fight of every politico would have been to prove that he is a high dignitary.

But happily that has not happened. politicos have begun to sense the mood of the People, which just now says: No red beacons. 'End culture of entitlement.' So many politicos are voluntarily saying that the culture should go. Viva la People!

What it finally comes down to is this: The supreme court has made a pronouncement on an Absolutely Useless Issue. Take Anna's Fast, and his demand for the Lokpal bill, which would bring EVERY official under the Scan of the Citizen, AND give the Citizen the Right even to Recall elected officials if they do not perform. THIS Issue is of the Greatest Importance, and was worthy of the sup court's interest. The sup court failed in this. What we see is a Whitewash.

The supreme court is Ignoring Essentials, and spending time on Useless things.
