When I read the comments from both sides of this debate I am reminded of the great divide in perception between Darwin and Bishop Usher. A controversy which led to the famous debate between Wilberforce and Huxley http://spiritualmean...el-wilberforce/
This debate continues to this day so I guess the "Great Thaivisa debate" will continue indefinitely. The question is, are Ozmick and friends Darwinites or Usherites

I guess by denying Thaksin his god-like mantle (self-spun out of whole cloth), we must be closer to the Darwinites. We see things as they are, and not how others wish they were.

Ozmick, Well fielded
Let us take the analogy further then. Darwin's original theory has been discarded, or rather modified. Evolution is now seen as a series of "punctuated equilibria". I think this applies to many Reds, Thaksinism is increasingly the old dogma, true democracy, not Democrat democracy, is gaining in their minds.
When both Reds and Yellows have their guns targeted on corruption and inefficiency Thailand might start to pull back from the brink.
