Put it to a poll

re: "Arrest warrant considered for Prinn over sexual harassment claims" (BP, April 15, 2022) 

Dear editor,

One must, as I'm sure he does, wonder at the sexual harassment charges coming to light in sufficiency against Prinn Panitchpakdi, that fine upstanding member of Thailand's "ironically named Democrat Party" (as described on the eve or their paving the way for yet another coup against the Thai people's popular form of democratic government in "Thailand’s Democrat Party Is Hilariously Misnamed", Time, Nov. 28, 2013). For even if guilty as hell, has he done anything save follow not at all the well-preached myth but the unspeakable example in fact set by the most elevated exemplars to Thai society?

Perhaps this would be a timely moment for a poll to discover the lingering levels of faith that the Thai people retain in those myths of virtuous excellence unsullied? Or must faith yet rule unsullied by contact with reason or reality?
