Of Calamur and Calamity

Harini's argument:

Balanced one. One blog that I would recommend that you follow. I like the writing style - Incisive, clean and good ones.

I have a thought that is politically incorrect. I hope I don't get killed for attempting to raise this issue. I am not a far right loon. I am not preaching. I do not support the "Rama Sene" type view on the issue. But at the end of the day, isn't this about personal choices we make and our ability to be accountable for the consequences of the choices we make.

I am all for freedom - infinite.

However, a bizarre thought crossed my mind. One that could not kill. Sorry Maharshi Mahesh Yogi-ji. Here it is.

If I have enough wealth in my house, would I leave the door unlocked and count on an honest society that would not rob. Is seeking a good lock to secure my home; an infringement of fundamental rights and is holding Hoysala beat cop responsible for not catching the robber the real answer. Now the answer is to make an appropriate personal choice about the needs for the lock - even if you were living in Dharmasthala. And live with the consequences of the same.

Is ITC solely responsible for cancer caused due to smoking ? Isn't the tar truly molesting your virgin lung ?

Something tells me that everyone in the society must assess their personal risks and take appropriate measure to secure themselves; while continuing to blame the law enforcement for failing to do its job.

How can such a world view be discussed without hurting my Victoria or her secrets ? This is the real challenge.

PS: No pun intended, whatsoever.
