of Taxi drivers.

You know, we really should give taxi drivers a go at governing someday. They are the best conspiracy theorist you could ever find, and the speeches they give in the confines of their taxis sometimes outstrip those of even Obama and Churchill. They seem to have a plan for anything and everything the world face. All the catastrophies and economic crisis seem to be easily solvable in their eyes, compared to the great unjust rises in petrol prices and car rental fees and how little customers they seem to get everytime.

And if you get a chance to visit one of those coffee shops where taxi drivers hang out in droves as they wait for cinderella to lose her pumpkin carriage and the MRT service, you would be able to experience the most sincere and ancient form of democracy, not unlike that of ancient greece. That where everyone is equal in the face of law. That where any form of government now is but a poor copy of its system. And perhaps that's why no politician is ever good enough for the taxi drivers, and all of them are corrupt in their eyes. How else could you explain the fact that they are working 14 hour shifts and yet still earn so little while politicians go visiting and earn millions, they'll ask you. And while they are there complaining about corrupt politicians, they'll extend to saying how corruption is actually acceptable, providing that both parties are willing and will continue to raise an example. Say, The customer wants to go to a place quickly, taxi driver offers to double the speed albeit at a higher price, customer says yes, driver says yes, corruption? yes. Acceptable? yes.

You know they say the actual ruler of the world is not a politician, nor someone whom you see on pages of magazines? I've got a niggling feeling that he or she, might just be a taxi driver.
