Most likely it’s being blown out of proportion to preserve the power of the Mexican president who came to power under suspicious election results and who’s problems make Abhisit’s look like a sandbox conflict. The Faux News wankers are exploring the “need” to suspend the American constitution and institute martial law after ONE confirmed death on American soil. All together this flu “pandemic” has the stink of a contrived crisis. Thinking people just don’t believe anything any government says anymore.

I frankly don’t get the increasing farang “distaste” with Thai’s decisions about how they manage their affairs. I like it here. Allot. Are there problems? Sure. Thankfully Thais, unlike their farang detractors, didn’t cause the global economic collapse and aren’t about to blow up the whole planet.

I left the country of my birth, America, the country that is the greatest threat ever to world peace to live what few remaining years I have in relative peace in a place I love. I resent farang who bring their farang ideas about how the rest of the planet should look and act here and miserably try to force those ridiculous ideas on people who clearly don’t want to hear them.

One wonders why farang that are so disgusted with Thais and Thailand remain here?
