History of greed

Re: “Nitirat chief warns of new ‘Black May’,” ( BP, March 20).

As the road map unfolding with military precision attests, it is not so much that the ruling politicians who selfishly delivered the Thai nation from the good morals on which democracy is founded are stupid (such a rude word).

It’s that they are greedily serving their mates in the oligarchy, whose traditions of Thai Niyom (Thainess), inherited from their ancestors, dictate that the lives of the lower classes remain duty-bound by feudal patronage to cater to the lusts and control of their betters.
