Ballot box ?  What ballot box ?  They did away with that three years ago in your totally free Thailand.

This problem with buses in traffic snarls have been present before I came here in the early eighties, and will probably persist after my reincarnation...

And the cycle will return too...

Same as in the UK before Thatcher.

When the country is attacked, you will still get blackouts.

 

But the tanks, planes and subs remain working...

What is it about locals' inability to self-analyse themselves, to introspect about their beautiful country without being attacked for not being a sheep?  

 

Take a good look at what's going on in Thai schools. The answer to your question is there.

A gander at the state of affairs, are they capable of upkeeping their war toys?

 

Not that there is a chance of any real conflict in the region that the Thais can influence or be concerned with.
