                    [Summary] => Karl Popper, the great guru of modern democracy based his teachings on an understanding of the basic principles of knowledge — what we can know and what we cannot know. In politics, it implies if we cannot predict if an elected president no matter how many promises he or she makes will be good. We are in surer ground if we were instead to reject candidates who would make not only a bad president but would endanger democracy. The same theory of knowledge applies to our approach to constitutional reform.

                    [Summary] => Democracy vs. authori-tarianism. There are two ways to view Lee Kuan Yew’s off-the-cuff criticism of EDSA 2. We can view it positively. Coming from Asia’s most respected statesman, his acerbic comment gives it welcome importance. The venerable Lee Kuan Yew would never understand people power anyway, being the guardian of authoritarian government. He belongs to that school of thought which subscribes to authority as the sole arbiter of what is good for a country.
