Response to the comment on "Dam is Damn"

Dear Reader,

Thanks for your comment on my previous article since you seem interested in my article. I did not generally mean to all dams in the world. Specifically, dedicated to the damn that Burmese junta who has no respect on human rights of the indigenous people living in Burma jungle where no government supply on electricity is available, planned to build a dam which will provide electricity to Thailand where 24 hour electricity is accessible.

Of course, let's check where the money from Thailand for selling our river, is going to. A large amount of unofficial money will mainly go to the another wedding for one of the U Than Shwe's family members and a few official money will go to the huge quota of military budget and the expenses of terribly corrupted government system which will report the money in the governement financial statement that never have transparency.

How about the indigenous people who are suffering from the new dam? They might be able to tell there is a dam in our native region. What else? As an american, dam represents electricity, power supply, income generation and employment to the local people. As a Karen, dam means fire, homeless, no fishing (means no food). Some of them might get some low income jobs before the dam has been built then what they gonna do?

Think about it.

Welcome to any feedback and different points of view. I respect human right that is freedom to express.
