But whatever they said, I DO believe in GOD. Even though it's just a concept which was created by human to explain the unexplainable phenomenon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt; Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer. –  Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You’re basically killing each other to see who’s got the better  imaginary friend.-Richard Jeni&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the  point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The  happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality. – George  Bernard Shaw&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Faith means not wanting to know what is true. – Friedrich Nietzsche&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I believe in God, only I spell it Nature. – Frank Lloyd Wright&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful  God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own  mistakes. – Gene Roddenberry&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature,  and it remains premature today. - Isaac Asimov&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A man is accepted into a church for what he believes and he is turned  out for what he knows. – Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as  false, and by the rulers as useful. – Seneca the Younger&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is  answers that may never be questioned. – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Not only is there no god, but try getting a plumber on weekends. –  Woody Allen&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to  save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the  pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous  atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose  every deed is foul, foul, foul. – Isaac Asimov&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination. –  Edward Abbey&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things  and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil  things, that takes religion. – Steven Weinberg&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack  of confidence. – Doug McLeodThe world holds two classes of men – intelligent men without religion,  and religious men without intelligence. – Abu’l‐Ala al Ma’arri&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Since the Bible and the church are obviously mistaken in telling us  where we came from, how can we trust them to tell us where we are going?  – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do  because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. – Susan B.  Anthony&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike. – Delos B.  McKown&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to  laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral  virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts  all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men. – Francis  Bacon&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character  in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving  control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a  misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal,  pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent  bully. – Richard Dawkin&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It is not as in the Bible, that God created man in his own image. But,  on the contrary, man created God in his own image. – Ludwig Feuerbach&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;All the biblical miracles will at last disappear with the progress of  science. – Matthew Arnold&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Blind faith is an ironic gift to return to the Creator of human  intelligence. – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Be thankful that you have a life, and forsake your vain and  presumptuous desire for a second one. – Richard Dawkins&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. –  Christopher Hitchens&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sering kali seorang atheis melakukan kebaikan kepada sesama lebih  tulus daripada orang beragama..kenapa? karena orang beragama berharap  surga dibalik perbuatannya, sementara atheis tidak.. -Fransiscustedja&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;On the first day, man created God. – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god  than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible  gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. – Stephen Roberts&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You do not need the Bible to justify love, but no better tool has been  invented to justify hate. – Richard A. Weatherwax&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What’s “God”? Well, you know, when you want something really bad and  you close your eyes and you wish for it? God’s the guy that ignores you.  – Steve Buscemi (From the movie “The Island”)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;As far as I can tell from studying the scriptures, all you do in  heaven is pretty much just sit around all day and praise the Lord. I  don’t know about you, but I think that after the first, oh, I don’t  know, 50,000,000 years of that I’d start to get a little bored. – Rick  Reynolds&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and  he will eat for a lifetime; give a man religion and he will die praying  for a fish. – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Calling Atheism a religion is like calling bald a hair color. – Don  Hirschberg&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;God should be executed for crimes against humanity. – Bryan Emmanuel  Gutierrez&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of  years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest  inconvenience from it. – Mark Twain&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have  such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His  existence. – Bertrand Russel&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;lIs God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not  omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he  both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor  willing? Then why call him God? – Epicurus&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I’m a polyatheist – there are many gods I don’t believe in. – Dan  FoutsA lie is a lie even if everyone believes it. The truth is the truth  even if nobody believes it. – David Stevens&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a God superior to themselves.  Most Gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child. – Robert A  Heinlein&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I refuse to prove that I exist,” says God, “for proof denies faith,  and without faith I am nothing. – Douglas Adams&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool;  he that dares not reason is a slave. – William Drummond&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Remember, god would rather constantly shame gays than let orphans have  a family. – Steven Colbert&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Which is it, is man one of God’s blunders or is God one of man’s? –  Friedrich Nietzsche&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Religion does three things quite effectively: Divides people, Controls  people, Deludes people. – Carlespie Mary Alice McKinney&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Religion has caused more misery to all of mankind in every stage of  human history than any other single idea. – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When a man is freed of religion, he has a better chance to live a  normal and wholesome life. – Sigmund Freud&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They felt that science would be corrosive to religious belief and they  were worried about it. Damn it, I think they were right. It is  corrosive to religious belief and it’s a good thing. – Steven Weinberg&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;History teaches us that no other cause has brought more death than the  word of god. – Giulian Buzila&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A believer states everything must have a creator but fail to say how  he was created. – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Properly read, the bible is the most potent force for Atheism ever  conceived. – Isaac Asimov&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If all the beliver who have called other beliver “not really a  religion” were to vanish, there’d be no beliver left. – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support. – John  Buchan&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Gods dont kill people. People with Gods kill people. – David Viaene&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make when in  the presence of religious dogma. – Sam Harris&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I don’t believe in God because I don’t believe in donald duck, n  mickey mouse – Clarence Darrow&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I refuse to believe in a god who is the primary cause of conflict in  the world, preaches racism, sexism, homophobia, and ignorance, and then  sends me to hell if I’m ‘bad’. – Mike Fuhrman&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Faith does not give you the answers, it just stops you asking the  questions. – Frater Ravus&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Gods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a  dose of common sense. – Chapman Cohen&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The inspiration of the bible depends on the ignorance of the person  who reads it. – Robert G. Ingersoll&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When  many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion. – Robert  Pirsig&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I have no need for religion, I have a conscience. – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Man has always required an explanation for all of those things in the  world he did not understand. If an explanation was not available, he  created one. – Jim Crawford&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not  understanding the world. – Richard Dawkins&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If god is the alpha and the omega. The begining and the end, knows  what has passed and what is to come, like it states in the bible, why do  people pray and think it will make any difference. – Mark Fairclough&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The finality of death is the coldest truth one must face. Religion  makes the perfect distraction. – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Religion is the opiate of the masses. – Karl Marx&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Atheists will celebrate life, while you’re in religion celebrating  death. – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Animals do not have gods, they are smarter than that. – Ronnie Snow&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious  ideas of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a  personal God. So far as religion of the day is concerned, it is a damned  fake… Religion is all bunk. – Thomas Edison&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Religion, of any type, due to its prerequisite lack of intelligent  thought, could prove to be the worst weapon of mass destruction, of all.  – David J. Constable&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To really be free, You need to be free in the mind. – Alexander  Loutsis&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Most religions prophecy the end of the world and then consistently  work together to ensure that these prophecies come true. – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jesus hardly made the greatest sacrifice. He knew he would be  resurrected anyway. – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Religion is like a virus that affects the behaviour of its host in  such a way as to propagate itself further. – Jack Pritchard&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Religions are like pills, which must be swallowed whole without chewing. – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Today’s religion will be the future’s mythology. Both believed at one  time by many; but proved wrong by the clever. – Steven Crocke&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Bible – A Fairytale book of rules brainwashing millions.  Obliviously used to help create war, kill, hate, judge and discriminate.  – Anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to  believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? – Douglas Adams&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;There are none more ignorant and useless, than they that seek answers  on their knees, with their eyes closed. - anonymous&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully as when they do it for  religious convictions.-Blaise Pascal Quote&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for  reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.- anonymouse&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The most henious and the must cruel crimes of which history has record  have been committed under the cover of religion or equally noble  motives. - Ghandi&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are  so unlike your Christ&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason: The Morning  Daylight appears plainer when you put out your Candle. - benjamine  franklin&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.-Jiddu  Krishnamurti&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The foolish reject what they see and not what they think; the wise  reject what they think and not what they see.-Huang Po&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Where knowledge ends, religion begins.-Benjamin Disraeli&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I think flying planes into a building was a faith-based initiative. I  think religion is a neurological disorder - Bill Maher&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A belief which leaves no place for doubt is not a belief; it is a superstition.-José Bergamín&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been  hijacked by religion.-Arthur C.

Drugs? Mabuk lalu menghajar orang? or mengganti dress-code mu mengikuti gaya band2 yang over-played di MTV?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, no matter what you do, esensi pemberontakan tidak akan pernah berubah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A real rebellion stays under your skin. Bukan dari dandanan, machoism, tattoos, piercing or anorexic-look yang dibuat-buat. There's two kinds of rebel. Once you're a real rebel, kamu akan selalu jadi a rebel for most of your lifetime, tak akan bisa berubah coz that's who you are. It's in your blood. Kamu akan selalu berpikir utk melawan kecenderungan2 yang ada, kapan saja dimana saja.But when you're a wannabe-rebel [pemberontak tanpa misi dan prinsip yang jelas] kamu hanya akan memandang sebuah pemberontakan dari sisi luarnya aja [baca: fashion] Dan a wannabe-rebel tidak akan pernah membuat sejarah atau melahirkan pemikiran baru yang lebih baik utk generasinya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kita orang timur emang seringkali bingung mengadaptasi culture barat yang sedemikian liberalnya, dimana disini masyarakat kita diikat oleh tatanan atau norma yang kadang gak penting dan berlebihan. Masyarakat kita mencintai keseragaman dan kurang menghargai sosok2 idealis or individualis. Menjadi seorang rebel memang susah untuk hidup di Indonesia, for real, tapi disanalah letak art of the rebellion-nya. Sesuatu yang memerlukan pengorbanan karena masyarakat kita masih cenderung melihat sisi negatif dari seorang rebel [di cap sok kebarat-baratan dll]. Padahal menjadi rebel bukanlah hal yang 100% salah. Tergantung apa yang kamu lawan. Misalnya, kamu benci melihat sinetron2 Indonesia yang mewah, dangkal dan mudah ditebak, lalu kamu bikin sebuah film dokumenter ttg bagaimana sinetron2 tsb membodohi masyarakat kita yang mayoritas masih hidup dibawah garis kemiskinan. Itu sebuah pemberontakan yang pintar. Sebuah counter thd. komersialitas dan penyeragaman yang berlebihan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A real rebel selalu berada diluar kecenderungan masyarakat, dan itu bukanlah pilihan yang salah, selama kamu bisa bertahan dan mempertanggung jawabkan misi dari pemberontakkan mu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harus diingat, kecenderungan di masyarakat atau di scene tidak selalu benar dan baik buat kita.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contohnya ketika trend emo menyerang, remaja kota2 besar beramai-ramai menutupi rambutnya dgn poni dan bikin band emo dadakan, alasannya biar keliatan 'cool' dan diterima di pergaulan kota besar yang makin konsumtif. Hanya sebagian kecil dari remaja2 kita yang serius menyimak dan mengerti lirik band2 emo. Ironis. Padahal diasalnya, band2 tsb terbentuk karena mereka sering tersisih dalam pergaulan, dan musik yang mereka tulis adalah penegas kalau mereka adalah orang2 yang berada diluar kecenderungan/pergaulan. Disini, oleh sebagian besar remaja malah dipakai senjata utk kelihatan 'up to date' dan 'gaul'[damn, i hate that word!]. Same thing happens to punkrock and ska and maybe rockabilly in the future.. Misi pemberontakannya ditinggalkan, fashion-nya di obral habis2an. Dan menurut saya itu samasekali bukan pemberontakan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kalau saya umpamakan pemberontakan adalah struktur sebuah lagu/band, jadinya begini: pakaian yang dikenakan oleh personel band, jenis suara gitar, drum dan suara teriakan/nyanyian vokal adalah media penyampai pemberontakan, sedangkan isi dari pemberontakan itu sendiri ada pada lirik. Karena lirik berasal dari pemikiran yang paling dalam, ada pesan yang ingin disampaikan. Banyak orang yang bisa bermain skillful, tempo drum hebat, tehnik vokal diatas angin dan bergaya spt rockstar kebanyakan groupies yang mempunyai masalah kejiwaan [yea right...] tapi jarang bgt ada band Indonesia, apalagi yang terkenal, punya lirik berontak yang skaligus pintar. Ujung2nya paling keras bisanya menghujat pemerintah tanpa ngasi solusi yang jelas, yang buruh bangunan pun bisa melakukan itu sambil menghisap kretek terakhirnya. Jadi ya, percuma saja kalau ada band yang merasa sudah pemberontak hanya karena memakai kaos gambar tengkorak, tattoo or mohawk, distorsi maksimum dgn beat drum yang berat, tapi liriknya masih standar khas Indonesia [lirik cinta yang dangkal dan di klip harus ada model cantik dan ganteng lagi berantem] Seorang rebel akan menemui kesulitan men-support band2 spt itu. Lagipula, kenapa harus nyerah ama standar2 yang dibikin ama generasi sblm kita, apa kita tidak punya hak utk punya taste thd standar yang berbeda?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sekarang try to think, kecenderungan apa aja yang ada di masyarakat kita yang kamu rasa mengganggu tidurmu. Ignorance is the real enemy. Kamu benci melihat budaya kekerasan yang semakin populer di masyarakat, lawan itu semua dan jangan ikut menjadi seperti mereka. Kamu kesal stiap kali melihat masyarakat dengan santainya membuang sampah plastik sembarangan, jadilah seorang pro-environment dan pengaruhi orang2 disekitarmu. Kamu gak tega melihat hewan2 dibunuh utk dimakan, jadilah seorang vegetarian dan daftarkan dirimu di peta2.com. Kamu bosan melihat budaya modern nan konsumtif anak muda yang manja dan kadang berlebihan, jadilah seorang berandal pasar barang bekas dan kenakan pakaian bekasmu dengan bangga dan stylish. Kamu merasa menyesal membeli majalah yang dipenuhi wajah2 infotainment ga penting, bikin dan cetaklah wajahmu sendiri. Bosan ama design kaos2 distro yang makin seragam dan cheesy, bikin clothing-line mu sendiri. Akan lebih baik jika kamu melakukan itu semua tanpa menjadi seorang fasis yang kaku. Just do your own thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See..banyak hal2 berontak yang bisa kamu lakukan di Indonesia tanpa harus merugikan orang lain dan malah bisa menguntungkan jika kamu bisa me-manage 'kenakalanmu'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jadilah seorang counter-culture with a big heart, yang bertanggung jawab, respect thd keluarga, lingkungan dan bumi pertiwi. Dont judge us, musicians, by the way we look or the way we dress, coz these days, anyone can look so punk, so psycho, so emo, so rockabilly, so metal dalam hitungan detik. Zap! Just like that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jangan sampai terjebak menjadi seorang rebel bodoh yang hanya mengejar status sosial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You gotta know where you stand and why you stand there. Knowledge [pengetahuan] is king and that's all you need to be a real modern rebel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers, cherry and dynamite!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;jrx&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4681572495192890851-5820917563468776094?l=adhian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://adhian.blogspot.com/feeds/5820917563468776094/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://adhian.blogspot.com/2009/11/rebel-for-life.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4681572495192890851/posts/default/5820917563468776094'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4681572495192890851/posts/default/5820917563468776094'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://adhian.blogspot.com/2009/11/rebel-for-life.html' title='Rebel For Life'/><author><name>Adhian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06635378942945729317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681572495192890851.post-2503465248245035168</id><published>2009-11-19T20:36:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-19T20:36:28.851-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Surat Terbuka untuk Presiden SBY</title><content type='html'>Ini adalah surat pertama saya kepada Anda dan sesungguhnya saya ingin menulis surat kepada Anda setiap hari. Saya pernah membaca surat terbuka macam ini yang ditulis oleh kolumnis Art Buchwald yang jenaka ketika Richard Nixon menjadi Presiden Amerika Serikat. Waktu itu Buchwald mengatakan, ''Pak Presiden, dengan surat ini saya ingin menyampaikan kepada Anda bagaimana cara memimpin negara. Berbahagialah Anda karena saya tidak memungut biaya sama sekali untuk nasihat yang saya berikan, sebab saya merasa bahwa sudah menjadi tugas saya sebagai warga negara untuk membantu Presiden mengatasi pelbagai masalah yang muncul hari ini.''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Itu sikap yang baik dan, terus-terang, saya ingin menirunya. Karena itu, saya juga tidak akan memungut biaya atas apa yang saya sampaikan kepada Anda melalui surat ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yang pertama, Pak Presiden, saya pikir sudah saatnya bagi Anda untuk berhenti memikirkan pencitraan diri. Sulitnya menjadi presiden yang terlalu menjaga citra adalah Anda bisa menjadi tampak lamban karenanya. Hal yang sama dialami oleh seorang perempuan yang terlalu menjaga penampilan. Ia bisa menghabiskan waktu berjam-jam di salon untuk menyasak rambut atau memotong kuku atau melentikkan bulu mata, hanya demi sebuah keputusan sepele: menghadiri kondangan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saya kira Anda perlu sedikit rileks, tetapi jangan pula terlalu guyon. Seorang presiden yang senang guyon akan menimbulkan masalah tersendiri, bagi dirinya dan bagi negeri yang dipimpinnya. Gus Dur pernah membuktikan itu. Saya kadang senang dengan guyonannya, tetapi para politisi di gedung DPR pada masa itu pastilah tidak suka dibilang sebagai sekumpulan anak TK (Sekarang banyak orang yang membenarkan pernyataan Gus Dur itu, terutama karena sampai hari ini perilaku anggota DPR masih membuat orang tidak bahagia.).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Namun, terlalu diam juga bisa merepotkan. Kita telah mengalami masa pemerintahan oleh presiden yang sepertinya mengamalkan petuah ''diam adalah emas'' dan Anda sendiri pernah melakukan pembelotan pada presiden yang seperti itu. Peristiwa tersebut menyebabkan Ibu Mega sampai hari ini terus menampakkan ketidaksukaannya terhadap Anda, bahkan sampai pada sikap dan kekeraskepalaan politik yang terasa tidak masuk akal. Tapi itu urusan Ibu Mega sendiri, bukan urusan bangsa ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yang lebih perlu Anda perhatikan, Pak Presiden, rakyat sudah memilih Anda untuk kali kedua. Saran saya, sungguh-sungguhlah menjadi sahabat mereka. Ini saran yang serius, sebab beberapa waktu sebelum kampanye pemilihan presiden, saya membaca kisah Pak Mayar, seorang petani kecil di daerah Gunung Putri, Bogor. Dua hal dalam kisah itu sangat mengesankan saya. Pertama, Pak Tani itu punya nama yang bagus, ''Mayar''. Dalam bahasa Jawa berarti mudah (meskipun hidupnya sama sekali tidak mudah). Kedua, di rumah Pak Mayar ini Anda pernah mengadakan pertemuan untuk menggalang dukungan semasa kampanye pemilihan presiden yang pertama dulu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menurut apa yang saya baca, di rumah itu Anda menjanjikan tiga hal jika Anda terpilih menjadi presiden. Yaitu pengaspalan jalan, pembangunan sekolah, dan pengadaan saluran irigasi. Dan, akhirnya Anda menjadi presiden. Dua janji pertama terwujud, yang ketiga belum. Jalanan diaspal dan sebuah SMA dibangun, tetapi tak ada pembangunan saluran irigasi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dengan dua janji terpenuhi, setidaknya Anda bisa mengatakan bahwa Pak SBY tidak melupakan sama sekali janjinya. Namun, ada yang meleset di sini. Pemenuhan dua dari tiga janji itu ternyata nyaris tak ada manfaatnya bagi Pak Mayar dan orang-orang yang selevel dengannya. Jalanan beraspal hanya berfungsi semakin memperlancar proses pencaplokan tanah warga kepada orang-orang kaya dari kota. Mereka membeli lahan para petani dan membangun perumahan di sana. Sedangkan gedung SMA tak pernah bisa dimasuki karena terlalu mahal. Bahkan cucu Pak Mayar pun tak pernah bisa bersekolah di sana. Dan, berapa uang masuk yang dianggap terlalu mahal itu? ''Satu setengah juta rupiah,'' kata Pak Mayar. ''Saya tidak mampu menyediakan uang sebanyak itu.''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mari kita akui bersama bahwa uang sejumlah itu memang sangat besar bagi sebagian besar rakyat di negeri ini. Sejumlah orang bahkan rela mati demi berebut uang derma Rp 20 ribu. Selanjutnya, mudah-mudahan tidak ada kemelesetan semacam itu lagi dalam upaya Anda memenuhi janji, dalam skala luas, bagi rakyat yang telah memilih Anda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terakhir, saya berharap Anda sigap merespons orang-orang yang saat ini menuntut Anda membuktikan jargon kampanye Anda ''menegakkan hukum tanpa pandang bulu''. Mereka sekarang meminta Anda bersikap tegas untuk mengamankan KPK, institusi yang telah memberikan kredit tersendiri pada citra positif pemerintahan Anda, dari upaya-upaya untuk melemahkan fungsinya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tentang hal-hal yang menyangkut upaya pelemahan KPK, saya ingin mengingatkan bahwa Anda harus mewaspadai omongan-omongan di belakang Anda. Ketika besan Anda, Aulia Pohan, dijadikan tersangka oleh KPK karena kasus korupsi, saya ingat pernah mendengar guyonan dari seorang teman, yang dekat dengan lingkaran Anda, bahwa tak boleh ada kejadian seperti ini. Katanya, kalau besan saja dijadikan tersangka, ''moral pasukan'' bisa runtuh, dong. Yang dimaksudkan pasukan di sini, Anda pasti tahu, adalah orang-orang yang berjejalan mendukung Anda --dengan dana, tenaga, maupun manuver politik. ''Harus dikasih peringatan KPK ini,'' kata teman saya itu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sekarang, dengan KPK dibikin sempoyongan seperti ini, saya tidak heran jika ada anggapan bahwa ''pasukan'' yang cemas itu sudah bergerak. Dan saya harus menyampaikan bahwa sikap diam Anda justru akan menguatkan anggapan itu. Apalagi kabarnya ada rekaman lain, saya baca di The Jakarta Post minggu lalu, yakni antara Susno Duadji, para jaksa, dan pejabat-pejabat lain yang menyebut-nyebut ''Blue Sky'' --konon itu nama sandi untuk Ibu Negara-- dalam percakapan telepon mereka mengenai Bank Century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saya tidak melarang Anda menjadi orang yang pemaaf. Tetapi jangan sering-sering memberi maaf untuk hal-hal yang tidak mendidik. Pemberian maaf kepada Ong Juliana Gunawan dan Anggodo Widjojo dalam kasus yang Anda sebut sendiri sebagai ''pencatutan nama'' sungguh merupakan tindakan yang bisa membuat pikiran semakin gelap. Kasus lain, saya tetap tidak habis pikir bagaimana Zaenal Maarif, yang membuat Anda marah dua atau tiga tahun lalu karena mengumbar omongan bahwa Anda sudah menikah dan punya anak ketika menjadi taruna Akabri, pada pemilu terakhir bisa banting setir menjadi kader dan caleg Partai Demokrat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sungguh saya tidak paham model rekrutmen politik di negeri ini. Terlalu banyak kutu di tubuh partai-partai dan mereka bisa meloncat-loncat dari satu partai ke partai lain dengan keringanan yang tak tertahankan. Kalau para kader partai saja tidak peduli dengan konten politik partai-partai mereka, sebetulnya rakyat disuruh memilih apa dalam pemilu?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pak SBY, saya akan mengakhiri surat ini dengan kalimat menghibur yang menunjukkan bagaimana orang Amerika memandang kualitas presiden-presiden mereka. Penuturan anonim itu berbunyi begini: ''Roosevelt memberi bukti bahwa orang bisa menjadi presiden seumur hidup; Truman memberi bukti bahwa semua orang bisa menjadi presiden; dan Eisenhower memberi bukti bahwa kita tidak memerlukan presiden.''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saya tidak ingin mengkopi frase terakhir dan mengganti nama Eisenhower dengan siapa pun nama presiden kita. Sesungguhnya yang saya inginkan adalah sebuah frase lain yang memberi bukti bahwa seorang presiden bisa benar-benar menjadi sahabat orang miskin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salam dari saya,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A.S.
