An unacceptable trade-off

A commentary I read from a national broadsheet paper a few days ago observed that a significant portion of the middle class frustrated with the lack of legitimate venues for pursuing meaningful reforms under Arroyo administration are willing to support exercises in military adventurism like coups as a result of the negligible prospect for the mounting of another peaceful EDSA-type uprising that can topple the present president which is now seen as the same, or even worse than her deposed predecessor.
On the other hand, there are those willing to turn a blind eye on all the scandals and the creeping martial law happening under the present dispensation and are even willing to support the stimulation of calculated events to justify the imposition of unconcealed martial law or a state of emergency on the pretext of preserving whatever economic gains pulled together by GMA.
Both are unacceptable for me.
