TINA policies- a re-assessment

      We were overwhelmed by the avalanche of carefully picked achievements – an exalted list compiled very technocratically and in minute details. It took us some time to recover from the aggressive reaction of the TINA's (There Is No Alternative) shouting brigade. Since the decapitation of the TINA movement, the tinawallahs have been running helter-skelter like headless chickens. This is reflected in their reaction, typical of cheerleaders rather than that of a sophisticated anchor - their TINA boss.  Their job is to create chaos when things are getting difficult. This distracts attention from what is centre-stage. The idea is that if you make lot of noise the key issues might get lost in the commotion such that we lose sight of the macro-picture.
