                    [Summary] => Most of the time, people forget the reason why something exists in the first place.  If something has been around for sometime,   persistence itself apparently becomes a sufficient justification for perpetuating it.  When something appears not only to have persisted over time but to have attended all societies — to have become universalized — then hardly anyone gets to be interested in why and how it came about.

                    [Summary] => Mediocrity need not be bad.  In a society where people are driven to excel, where they try to outdo each other in doing what is good for society as a whole, where efficiency, discipline, lawfulness and intelligent compassion may be popular virtues, mediocrity – a condition characteristic of at least half of the citizenry, their  median state – is praiseworthy.  In this context, those who look down on the average or mediocre citizen may even be faulted for being unduly demanding.

                    [Summary] => Lately the Arroyo adminis-tration appears to be exerting itself to impact more positively on public opinion.  Its choice of public safety as an area for maximized impact is understandable.  Other candidate areas like economic well-being and political rein-venting are not up to generating quick results for impressing a relatively cynical public.

                    [Summary] => Physicists understand that for certain types of physical reactions to be sustained, or more precisely to be self-sustaining, there has to be enough critical mass materially capable of and necessary for the specific reaction.  Beyond concep-tual understanding, physicists are comfortable with critical mass, confident that their science endows them with the requisite skill for controlling the rate of reaction in a mass gone critical.

Imagine a society where a president had just been deposed by means which its Constitution does not quite explicitly provide for, means which might have been endorsed by a slim majority and even legitimized by the Supreme Court but which a good number of people also continues to repudiate. Imagine the same society beset by serious economic difficulties, dramatic governance issues of systemic graft and corruption and politically divisive issues relating to the trial of its fallen president.
