Since we are measuring the value of things, what's the value of the lives lost to the Easter bombings? What's the value of lives taken and livelihoods destroyed due to the economic crisis?

What's the value of your time spent in endless queues? What's the value of the loss of education for our children and what's the value of the price we pay daily for corruption, nepotism and cronyism?

Powerful people play games, ignore the will of the people, lie and obfuscate, mislead and expect no consequences. Eventually when you batter and beat people up and stretch them to breaking point there will be a reaction, it was inevitable.

There is no right way or a wrong way to fight a revolution, a fight for liberation and there is no right or wrong way to celebrate that either. In any struggle there is collateral damage and its only nessesary because people have been pushed to the edge.

Did we stand in street corners, yearning for change only to complain about how people choose to celebrate a victory? When the call went out to people to converge on Galle Face, around a million answered that call in the middle of the harshest economic crisis in our history.

Let them have a day or two of buffonish fun, it does not cost a thing of any significance in comparison to what has been achieved. The country is about to be liberated from the curse of the Rajapaksas.

Next step is to hold the 225 accountable, put them on notice and follow a constitutional process to deliver solutions in the best intrest of the people. No more narrow self serving broken politics.

It's a good day... Lets take stock and move the battle and the movement to the next goal which is system change.
