Why can't we be honest and basically admit that Thailand is a guided democracy by the military? surely this is most obvious by all, why the arguments?

I've never had a problem ...

How can one respect the law when it is blatantly abused by the rich and powerfull? one only has to look back at some of the judicial rulings recently, and I'm not talking about the reds and yellows, take the collapse of the BBC a few years back, the Mercedes bus stop killer, the driver who rammed th...
