Editorial Letter Sent to Edmonton Sun

The editorial of Wednesday, April 8th, 2015 titled 'If you don't vote, don't complain' was rather laughable.  Please find it on the net, below is my email reply to 'Sun Media'.

          Sun newspaper 

-------------------------

Hello,

Your editorial titled 'if you don't vote, don't complain!' is rather short cited.  

As citizens of Alberta, Canada, we have been through many provincial/federal elections.   There have been many politicians which have come and gone, however the promises made and then forgotten as soon as the 'office' is secured, are numerous.  

You might not want me to bring forth many of the so called 'taxes will not go up' speeches made, and afterwards in the comfort of a government salary/pension secured, the proclamation of 'well they need to go up', scenarios are many.  

Also, an intellect such as you, a reporter/editor working for the media should figure out by now that a politician only serves the benefit of him/her self, not the constituents.   

Therefore, the media is reading the low figures of the turnout at election day, as people being lazy or comfortable. 

We the people are informed and do not buy into this game of 'elect me, I will work for you'.  This rhetoric is old now, therefore many citizens are not voting.   

But, do not insult us and state 'don't complain'.    We pay over 40% of taxes in this country, and have children/parents in the government institutions, therefore allow us to make our points heard, even if we don't vote.  

Since, my email is getting rather long, in another email, I will write to you of the alternative ways to elect and govern the people, but this format that we have is now old, corrupt and even immoral.  

Finally in yet another email, I will further explain to the editors at sun media that our province is not protected by the borders any longer.   There are other individuals who have a say in how they want to be governed.  The ruling parties in each province/country are always rotating from governing to opposition party, but the ruling elite are always the same people/falmilies/organizations; who are the pinnacle of the elite, who rule with their own agenda, and my vote counts as much as the second hand movement of the 4th dimension.   

Thank you for reading, if you made it thus far, 

Ben

So very true quote eh?

Ben here

Alma Mazlumun Ahını, Cıkar Aheste Aheste

'Alma Maslumun Ahini, Cikar Aheste, Aheste' - Atasozu

I would like to explain what the above Quote means.  I will first write what it means in Turkish, as it does have a deep meaning. 

Afterwards, I will translate it to English. 

First of all, I need to explain what 'Atasozu' means.  The 'Atasozu' is used for 'sayings' 'quotes' 'proverbs' that have come from centuries past, and the author is an unknown person from society.  

Now, the Turkish meaning of the quote is writing below:

Her insan zulme ugrayabilir.  Allah, zulme ugrayan insanın yaptıgi bedduayı mutlaka, bir gun kabul eder.  Bu beddua'gin duasi kabul eden Allah, ocunu o zalim kimseden alabilir.  Ama sabir gerekir, cunku elbet 'dua' kabul olur.  

Bundan dolayı hicbirimiz, kimseye zul etmesin.  Sonra yapılan kotulugun cezası omur boyu cekilebilir. 

And now, the English translation. 

We as humans might one day come across a very bad person, who might try to take 'advantage' from us.  For if this happens, we need to remind the 'wicked' person that I will pry to the All-mighty for punishment.  And that punishment, will indeed, one day, will occur, as my prying will surely be accepted from the 'Over-seer'. 

Therefore, live a 'honest' and 'pure' life; without exception.  

Kind of a 'dark' topic today, however thought to share.  

Thank you again, for reading.
