Burin Kantabutra’s incessant referencing of Anand Panyarachun’s “check-the-boxes” 7 Pillars may be helpful to some, but for most of us the pillars are unwieldy and difficult to remember. It would be better to pinpoint the key weaknesses in the past that allowed scoundrels to rear their heads. In this regard, I humbly point out the lack of transparency and accountability. When it comes to means by which the ills of this society can be rectified, I have higher hopes of social networking than I do of the new Constitution.
Charles de Gaulle offered words that Thailand would do well to heed right now: “No policy is worth anything outside of reality.”
