PostPost subject: THIS PLAIN careless whisper PISSES ME OFF ( re Book Blockade ) : Reply with quote

" ( Phil. )Customs Undersecretary Espele Sales explained the government's position to a group of frustrated booksellers and importers in an Orwellian PowerPoint presentation, at which she reinterpreted the Florence Agreement as well as Philippine law RA 8047, providing for "the tax and duty-free importation of books or raw materials to be used in book publishing." For lack of a comma after the word "books," the undersecretary argued that only books "used in book publishing" (her underlining) were tax-exempt.

"What kind of book is that?" one publisher asked me afterward. "A book used in book publishing." And she laughed ruefully."


GODDAMN IT !!!! WHAT THE STUPID careless whisper HELL ?!?!?!?

Respectable chaps having a jolly guffaw at our latest island careless whisper.
Damn, we are THIS close to taxing basic amenities, like in pre-colonial India.

As the moneyed continue to blame it all on the people they helped disenfranchise through Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

" See, kids ? The problem here is YOU. You are the reason why the nation slid into corruption, and decay; so only you - the people whose electoral choice wasn't honored - can save this country. Our ills would not be solved through ouster, protest, revolt, or anything that would distract us from getting a Brazilian wax job; it is through paying for the sins that the criminal committed. So behave poor little sods, and live down your station, while the pluderers roam, and the Holy Men bugger you in the ass. "

" Oh, and the 'Boston Tea Party' ? Sorry, didn't happen.
( Please stop reading those history books. They're not educational. ) "

UP HGC is mobilizing the zombies against this appalling display of stupidity. Should we care?

Zombies eat brains, but can't stomach the injustice.
