Self Help...

Self-help..... My Foot.

Government Speak: "Sorry, we cannot provide good local transportation to you"
Result: Traffic snarls, utter chaos on the roads
Solution: You have to arrange for your transportation.

Government Speak: "Sorry, we cannot provide protection to you"
Result: More and more gun related crimes, Guns falling into school-children's hands
Solution: You have to arrange for your own protection.

Government Speak: "Sorry, we cannot manage the traffic"
Result: Impossible even for an athlete to cross the road - forget about aged people / children
Solution: People drive on pavements, honk at pedestrians.

Government Speak: "Sorry, we cannot provide good infrastructure"
Result: God bless Bengalooru when it rains.
Solution: What solution?. All roads gone to dogs.

Government Speak: "Sorry, cannot protect you from stray dogs"
Result: Dog bites, children at risk, incessant barking all night
Solution: Neuter the dogs and check their population

Government Speak: "Sorry, we cannot provide continuous power even in Bangalore"
Result: Unscheduled power outages; Students, industries affected, business flowing elsewhere
Solution: Good power distribution network and proper power generation.

Why the hell am I paying TAXES? Who am I feeding by paying TAXES? Why should I pay TAXES?

Sandeep, sorry, I was not cribbing. I was just expecting the same reciprocal responsibility from the government.

I don't mind voting properly. But other million brothers and sisters of Karnataka think that whoever gives them a packet of liquor and a saree / dhoti is a good man. What to do?

I am paying for the mistakes by them, right...
