Mindspeak,San Jose, California,says:I feel great about the future of our country. It is time that we move to the next level of governance. Leaders should have greater vision than the people they are leading. Our country missed a beat or two as knowledge and awareness grew among the masses. Politics in not for thugs and dynasties alone, and MPs like Mr.Rai augur well for the change in perception of the stigma associated with being a politician or should I say "people's representative". More people from the intelligentsia should follow suite and take up leadership positions in governance.[2 Jun, 2009 0820hrs IST]
