Letter: Is there reason to expel President?
| Fri, 10/22/2010 11:09 AM
On Wednesday, I saw demonstrations in many parts of this country. Who is
behind them? Obviously they are politicians, who try to benefit from
such events.
Yes, demonstrations are the right of all citizens. The problem is why should those demonstrators destroy property and hurt other people?
The demonstrators disrupted people from going to their workplaces or
returning home. In Makassar, student demonstrators frequently destroy
property and delay travelers.
I believe that there are still many ways to express our opinions. It is
better if students expressed their opinions with their pens, and not
just cause problems on streets. An old saying goes that the pen is
mightier than the sword.
Remember we live in a constantly changing world that is sometimes confusing.
But it is good for us to learn from history. Don’t just cry out to call
on the replacement of the President. We have to have good reason to do
so.
