    DEMOCRATIC EDGE

    Importance of Freedom and the Power of Knowledge

    Joseph Manimala, September 8,1996
    Pala – 686 575

    Nowadays many people, even free world intellectuals under value democracy. Totalitarian control over citizenry is recommended as the reasonable way to progress. But totalitarian countries’ super growth rates are a myth (20% GDP growth add about 7 billion dollars to Singapore economy. But only a modest 5% growth adds 50 billion dollars to Indian economy. America, world’s largest economy has only about 3% GDP growth. World’s richest country grouping, G-7, hasn’t a single nondemocratic member. Among 25 developed countries there are only 2 non democracies. Authoritarian Singapore pales before democratic Japan.
    Whenever restrictions imposed on a society, its efficiency and vigor declined. In fifteenth century liberal Protestant countries surpassed restrictive Catholic countries in scientific achievements. The Story of Mankind - Hendrik Willern Van Loon.
    However strong they became, oppressive regime always collapsed. Inquisition Spain, Nazi Germany, Communist USSR. Resource rich USSR stagnated under totalitarian rule. But with scarce resources free Japan became an economic miracle.
    The Swiss are praised for their clock work precision and meticulous efficiency. In liberal Sweden women enjoy highest status in the world. France outperforms almost all countries in fashion, culture and new technologies. America is world’s foremost foreign investment destination. Investors prefer it over Japan and Germany. Neither Japan nor Germany has the ultimate investment haven credential; the capability and willingness to use military power for protecting economy and investments.
    But America’s strength lies not on its economy or military. But on its mass culture. American books, mags, films and music rule the earth. Also in the global technological race too, America has the edge. Thanks to its awesome knowledge base. It successfully attracts talent from Russia and India. Liberty gives America such innovative power.
    However, an open society cannot conceal its short comings. Americans are on the whole, very frank about their troubles and do believe in open discussions. Topmost American writers describe America fairly and modestly. In his book Economics For our Times (1967), Mr. Augustus H. Smith fairly describes poverty in the United States. He also expressed concern over Soviet overtaking of America in Science and GDP. In Power Shift, Alvin Toffler points out America’s strength and acknowledges its weak points. He underlines the power of knowledge.
    Imagination is the driving force behind human progress. Yesterday’s wildest dreams become today’s realities those great visionaries like Jules Verne and Arthur C. Clarke, with their amazing imagination and foresight driver our civilization to unthinkable heights. Freedom does enhance creativity and nurture progress.
    END
    Oct.1997 S E Asia Crash/Meltdown proves my article. I wrote this when democracy was out of fashion.

    Done! I really liked it. Much different than your first two, but definitely in a good way. Those suspenseful scenes were SO well written. Nice job.

    P.S.
    I will have you know that before we knew we were having a boy, my wife and I were settled on the name Sydney for a girl. So WE are the kind of parents who would name their child Sydney. So there!

    What Is Friendship? It’s sharing your greatest joys and deepest hurts. It’s revealing your wildest dreams and secrets of the soul… It’s expressing yourself with heartfelt words and understood silences. It’s counting on each other when times are tough…... The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Dreams do come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them. A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one's own path, not chasing after the dreams of others. Life ends when you stop dreaming, hope ends when you stop believing and love ends when you stop caring. So dream, hope and love~ No one falls in love by choice, its by chance. No one stays in love by chance, it's by work. And no one falls out of love by chance, it's by choice! Why live life if u cant taste every inch of it.Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past~ Stop planning the future~ Stop trying to figure out precisely how we feel~ Stop deciding with our mind what we want our heart to feel~ Sometimes we have to go with......... "our goal and work hard for it

    Hi Michelle,

    Not only did I love Tunnels but I also read Boneyard over the weekend and I absolutely could not put it down! What a great suspense novel with so many different twists & turns; it was really a great story that had me on the edge of my chair! Please say that you're at work on another Kelly Jones mystery. She's a great character.

    Thanks Michelle,

    Finally finished Cemetery Dance. Kinda struck me as a composite of a few of their other books, but entertaining nonetheless. Really intriguing second to last scene. Overall, I enjoyed it, but it was no Cabinet of Curiousities. Let me know what you thought when you're done.
