Why does not anyone act!

It seems we are spiralling downward in a nose dive for reasons that could be controlled. The law and order is in disarray and drive to root out terroists is ending nowhere. The stock excahnge instead of providing for the country is actually fleecing out the hard earned cash of small investors. Now to top it all National Commodities Exchange Commission has started business. People with lots of money are manipulating the prices of commodities without any logical reason or demand and the government is doing nothing, nothing at all.

While we are horried at all the internal conflicts, the noose from external forces is being pulled tighter and the headlines news is that no one knows who will be controlling ISI, the prime minister or the Interior Minister. For God's sake it is a national institute which might have indulged in politics but has protected us too. Instead of make correct adjustments still administrative formalities are being discussed, the people at helm of affairs too must realise about their image.

Does not any one care,  are not the recent events enough for even the lesser IQ armymen clear to indicate that we are firing up the wrong hill. Why donot we  wish to leave the country to our kids in a better state than today, or is everything for today.

Businesses both local and MNC are allowed to manipulate, just compare the prices of medicine, detergents, cars, books etc across the border with India or China to see what a huge difference exists despaite the claims of world being a global village.

These are simple observations about issues I know little about, but the position is getting bleaker in the energy sector where I have some experience. CNG is being  sold at exorbitant prices and government is claiming that they are giving subsidy in petrol & diesel, so whats is future.. further hike. And what the financial managers are doing about it, printing more currecy, do we really need enemies when we have Dr Shamshad Akhter around.

There is a think tank in Pakistan about sustainable development which is silent these days, but everyone knows the current trend is not sustainable.  Some half baked energy saving measures were announced few months back but never implemented. Dear Pakistanis right now the only way out right now is conservation, please act before its too late.
