    A coward is someone who will hide behind another, put the blame on others, always runs away from problems, never face a problem, but send others to sort it out. Does this sound familiar? Do we know a such a character?

    There are some who think the hyena is a cowardly beast. It isn't, of course. And in fact it's pretty damn dangerous.

    For me it’s really about the fact that the Guptas are in the news business but they made the headlines in print, television, radio and internet for a considerably long period of time(in not the way you want).

    They also seem to be taking number one position on the mass media stage, I like that stage, it brings you the coverage you rightfully and maybe even happily would really want to see..

    They get free publicity good or bad and lots of it, some people would say naughty naughty, I had never heard the name Gupta until this wedding, now everyone all over the world knows of the gupta family.

    Same with the shower head fella, nothing is going to change, the fella will serve his term, live the life and spend the money and there is nothing you me or anyone else is going to do about it. I am sure he has done what our previous government did put away a little something for when the next person has a turn. So that him, his family and friend can live a life of luxury at your expense.

    Send a billion emails maybe that will change the world for a better place...yeah right.

    You can do something about it; you can report corruption, you can object to the secrecy bill, you can vote against the ruling party, whoever that may be.
