Once in a while there appears reports in the media that can amuse and entertain the readers - but most often it is clear that people fail to see the real implications of what they are saying or doing. Beginning from this post, I would like to attempt to record all such reports in the media, for posterity’s sake.
I believe that the following two deserves the place of honor for this maiden post on the not-so-funny guffaws.
One talks of our close to a century of aspirations for 100% organic farming - but what is quixotic is that the report actually names a number of government agencies charged with the responsibility of importing and distributing chemicals - to help the farmers achieve our national aspirations.
The other credits the Bhutanese electorate as being mature enough to decide which of the political party is likely to serve the country better - and yet he welcomes the decision of the ECB to oversee and endorse the political parties’ manifestos, through a committee to be appointed by them. It appears that the contributor misses out on the obvious - the ECB’s deliberate message to the Bhutanese electorate - that they will decide what color and shade of democracy we can have.
