My question was: “Mr. Thaksin admitting now in hindsight that unboundless greed was indeed your honest mistake, would you then also admit to the virtue of ‘Sufficiency Ethics’ as learned by personal experience?”

What would be yours?

And I do not refute Andrew Walker that these hard-working Thai helps and rurals have opinions . . I'll be alarmed if they don't. Would Nicholas and Andrew REALLY wish to hear my maid's opinion about offshore vehicles and her ethical discourse on nominees and tax finagling by the rich? She has opinions plenty, most learned listening to radio broadcasts from Sonthi L's and reading Thai newspapers and gossips from neighbors. I am just disappointed with you Andrew Walker, as usual.
