There is no corruption, stupid!

It is simply incredible how little BJP talks about corruption. Why are they not out of the streets and tv studios talking it everyday? What is the platform they want to contest the next elections, if at all they want to contest it seriously. (I am totally baffled by their lack of seriousness in taking up corruption as issue because that is their biggest opportunity lying around and well, they are just not interested!)

The baton has been picked by likes of Kejriwal and even Mamta Banerjee! You got to be kidding, when the principal opposition party in the house has no interest on the burning issue. Or do they have hidden benefits not to puruse the matter beyond the point of break?

Meanwhile, Congress' strategy for bigger elections seems to be on dry runs at Himachal. It basically involves deflecting blame for being corrupt and blaming the system to have enabled the corruption. If I am correct and that's really a pointer, that's a pathetic! All the more reasons for BJP to attack. But I don't see any such attacks anywhere.

In simple words what Congress' "System is broken" simply means is, Don't blame the guy who stole the cookies but blame the guy who kept cookies from where it could be stolen! That's absurd!! It's absurd and a practically useless rhetoric because there is no system that cannot be broken. The incorruptible system does not and will never exist, except in realms of fairy tales. Their stating they took cookies because it was there to be taken is morally indefensible.

It's really frustrating to see the opposition parties so lost right now. Opportunities as big as elephant is staring them in their face but they are blind to it. So much, we have to wonder if they are pretending.

Until we see some movement, Kejriwal seems to be the only 'opposition party' worth watching.

Net Neutrality - Fight for free expression

The "Net neutrality" issue, where we fear networks/infrastructure providers will decide (euphemism for censorship) what customers will read/watch/listen/buy on net. Many of the features that we fear in the "Net-neutrality" have already been implemented across various other platforms like telecom. For example, my telecom service provider has blocked the competitors GPRS sites and also does not allow access to many other sites on Internet, from where the free goodies like mobile applications, software, games, wallpapers, tones etc can be downloaded. This leaves me with the only service provider for above products, the service provider himself. This is totally blocking my freedom and my right to choose. This is just a glimpse; with "Net-neutrality" issues at stake are enormous. There should be no way; any entity (maybe, other than individual governments.) should be able to determine what is accessible and what is not. :) Falkor

Definition of Cult Stocks

From a blog: A classification describing stocks that have a sizable investor following, despite the fact that the underlying company has somewhat insignificant fundamentals. Typically, investors are initially attracted to the company's potential and accumulate positions in speculation that its potential will be fulfilled, providing the investors with a substantial payout. While most of these cult stocks promise they will be the next big story after they make a new discovery or get the newest contract from the government, most do not provide investors with anything other than the story. Furthermore, these stocks typically generate very little, if any, revenue at all. For example, many micro-cap biotech stocks are cult stocks. While they promise that they are going to be working on a miracle compound or drug, most of them do not have any source of income as they slowly burn away their initial capital in research and development. However, some cult stocks do occasionally make good on...
