Yes indeed meritocracy is the way to uplift a country's modernization forward but it's the values and actions of benevolent that unite the people strongly together. The used of beautiful words thru media to propagandize lip service and window dressing only temporarily glue a nation. Stupid men are slowly awaken to understand that talking and making beliefs are cheap. 30 Patyeen Tan Patyeen Tan 2 days ago U r spot on, Prof. Kishore. They hv lost the plot n that's for sure.

The word 'burgess' was once commonly known in the English-speaking world, where it was the equivalent of 'bourgeois' in French, 'burgués' in Spanish, 'burghese' in Italian, 'burgher' in Flemish, etc. The founding burgess class invented the euphemism "We The People" because "We The Burgesses" would have gone over like a lead balloon. It has been a plutocracy since its founding, but the wealthy burgess class was in its early years a revolutionary class.
