» Re: "Sinking of bill bodes ill," (Editorial, March 19). "The sinking of the bill came as no surprise". It's testament to the determined work done during five years of dictatorship when they aligned all the institutions in their favour and then bought up corrupt politicians to join them.
Our THAI pride

» With regard to the trouble THAI is in, you cannot accuse politicians of interfering in the national airline. It is their job. Since THAI is majority-owned by the government, the government has a strong say in how to run THAI. Who is the government? At the top are the politicians who are in power. Rather, you are talking about the change in direction or inconsistency of policy at THAI when governments or those politicians in power change.

» Re: "Weed use a 'medical minefield'", (BP, Aug 8). If countries like Canada and the US are not intimidated by threats from the wrong-headed International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) that is stuck in the hysteria-driven mistakes of the ignorant past and vicious drug war heyday, why should Thailand be terrified of its threats to punish good citizens who need other medicines? The whole idea of punishing another group for the perceived crimes of others is morally indefensible, however popular it might be in the sanctions imposed by US presidents intent on forcing others to bow to their populist will.

» Re: "Politics returns to childish ways", (Opinion, July 29). I agree with Veera Prateepchaikul that the joint sitting of the Lower House and the Senate during the debate over the government's policy statement last week was spiritless and extremely boring as most MPs -- young and old -- displayed unacceptable behaviour.
Licence to kill

» Of all the retrograde events in Thailand over the past two decades, the death of a 15-year-old student at Phra Pratom Wittayalai School from so-called Thai "hazing" tradition is the worst.
