Wow, it has been way too long since I blogged, but I guess I was waiting for the perfect example of the evils of government. Here is a perfect example of what happens when a nation of citizens become too dependent upon the largesse of government:
Four days of bloody demonstrations in western India by members of the Gujjar community have so far claimed the lives of 36 protesters and one policeman in the worst-hit Rajasthan state.
The Gujjars are seeking to reclassify their hereditary caste to a lower level, which would allow them to qualify for government jobs and university places reserved for such groups. The government has refused.

So we literally have a group of people in this world that realize that they only way to get ahead is to be considered a disadvantaged minority. Brilliant.
