Okay, so the dude won. By a thumping 15k+ majority. Not bad, not bad at all.
Despite all the dirty tricks ever invented by the government, they were unable to steal a win. And must now be contemplating life in the political doldrums. Sigh. When will they ever learn?
On another note, I read an article which really stirred my heart. An article which further reinforces my belief that the end of the world couldn't come sooner. An eight-year old stray dog saved a premature baby and gave him shelter, in the company of her newborn puppies. Where? In Shanty Town, Buenos Aires. Which just goes to show that God does indeed work in mysterious ways. He gave intelligence and reason to mankind, but compassion to animals. And when one looks at Malaysia, and how dogs are abused and slaughtered at the wanton whims and fancy of certain 'types' of people, one is filled with utter disgust and contempt. These are the same people who readily abandon infants and children at every nook and cranny in town, yet go around condemning dogs as dirty and unclean.
I'm not going to get started on the horror stray dogs face here; it is well documented and highlighted to an abjectly apathetic society. Being shot, being beaten to death, being run down, being kicked, being bludgeoned, being eaten...welcome to canine terror in Malaysia. Yes, we all know of the cursed dog-eaters throughout the world; may their children be disembowelled right in front of their eyes. May the meat in their throats turn putrid and tear at their innards. Yeah, and no different a curse I lay upon all those dog-catchers that torture poor, innocent living beings. It is my sincere hope that their entire families be wiped out right in front of them, mangled and mauled beyond recognition.
On saying that, this heroic dog in Argentina has shown that for all the cruelty mankind has heaped on animals, compassion for the unfortunate can never be erased. Hopefully humans will bear that in mind as they slowly but surely destroy the world for their own selfish needs.
