I think you're ignoring the reality that, regardless of where the country's hopes are placed, everything will come to a standstill for a period, and anger does come to the surface in situations of extreme grief

That's exactly why I think it was foolish for things to have got to the stage where that will be the effect of someones inevitable passing (impermanence:)

As for Thai Buddhism, I dont claim to be a teacher- however it seems to me that due attention is not really paid to the wisdom of the Buddha.

btw, I dont think Thaksin, Hun Sen, nor the Thai government have done themselves any credit over the last few weeks (years:)
