Impeach the People!

Remember about the impeachment case ...

Then ..
Remember the paralysis we have once every five years ...
Remember the blackout that comes with it ...
Remember the water that was there for us when we don't need it that much ...

We always blame the government for not taking care of us.
We talked about impeaching the government (governor, mayor, etc.) for that matter.
But you know what?
I think we should impeach the people for the flood!
Why?

Last month I went back home to Bandung one afternoon. It was raining heavily, but not that heavy.
I mean it was not enough to flood Bandung.
Buy you know what happen? I saw spots in Bandung that was flooded.
Surprised? hmm .. you shouldn't be!
I saw garbage all over the street. I saw the water in the sewer that was blocked by garbage.
Whose fault is that?
The government? THe people?
I think both!
The government is definitely wrong for not cleaning the city from garbage. I mean surely they have a department for that, right?
But the people is also wrong for littering.

It's the mindset of the people we need to fix.
Why the people?
Because if people are not littering, there wouldn't be garbage where it's not supposed to be.
If that's so, then there wouldn't be a problem with garbage and flood when it's raining.
If there's no problem with garbage when it's raining, then Bandung won't be flooded.
Right?
Dunno about other cities, but I think it's pretty similar.
We have problems with garbage everywhere.
Of course in Jakarta they another problem with the city plan management.

But if you think about it .. it is us who should introspect ourselves, because we are the people and the government!

So let's impeach the people instead!
