re: "The strong arm of the law" (Opinion, August 5)
Dear editor,
Mr. Dawson is spot on as he delineates the systematic legalization of corrupt morals by the junta, a legal reform with the primary intent of keeping the Thai nation uninformed about Thai affairs, which forced ignorance of the topic is always, without exception, the primary aim of all censorship. There is clearly much that those who seized power over the Thai nation in order to make up laws better suited to their agenda do not want Thais to know or to understand about Thai affairs. The major reform of these politicians unelected has been to criminalize critical public discussion, effectively outlawing the good morals essential to a healthy civil society that keeps government under due scrutiny, leaving the unspeakable unexamined.
Critics should note the extremely strong claim: all that is needed to prove it false is a single example of censorship whose primary purpose is not to enforce ignorance of the censored topic. Your failure to do so proves the stated truth about censorship. But do try to square its circles in support of the corrupt reform of Thai law.
