Flying While Asian

The recent detention of 12 men of Asian (or as reported by media, resembling Pakistani or middle eastern or more correctly brown skinned) origin on the Nortwest flight and two men on the Manchester flight are lucid examples of a society that has gone crazy. It is now dangerous for an Asian man or woman (soon) to fly, drive, ride bus or train, or even eat or stand in a public place without being detained. All because the uneducated, paranoid majority (namely the white trash who are also likely to be in law and other government agencies) are scared. These folks had never used whatever brains they may have, and will never be able to think coherently. The media, again a bastion of ignorant bigots, adds fuels to the issue.

If the situation does not improve, perhaps, the same treatment ought to be meted out to all caucasians, whether they are Americans or Europeans travelling and present in Asian countries. An eye for an eye makes everyone blind but the blind cannot see color!

Madness in Madras

M. Karunanidhi, the new chief minister of Tamil Nadu, has done it again. Waive loans, offer rice at Re. 2 per kg, etc. This type of actions bankrupt the state. The old fart and his party do not learn from history. I guess equal blame sould go to the electorate, the ignorant asses! There should be a law against such acts.

Shame on you, GOP

Republican party claims to uphold free market enterprise and decry government interventions in private and public life of the citizens. In recent years, their behaviour is anything but that. For example, they have voted down a provision that would have ensured network freedom. Instead their actions support companies that run the internet infrastructure to put limitations on other users. In another instance, the representatives are planning on making the DMCA more draconian by removing the right to have fair use of copy righted material. Even a thought of using copy righted material can be reason for prosecution!

Big money can and does change the way these people behave. They are no longer for the people, by the people, or of the people. They are just selfish, greedy, predators. I guess it is a moral duty of every citizen to ensure that these rogues are voted out of power!

How many blogs?

I keep quite a few blogs. Some are on Blooger.com. Others are on Radio, MSN Space, Yahoo 360. I do not always keep all of these blogs upto date. May be one day!

Firefox to the Blog

Adding a blog entry through the Browser is a cool thing. Often, as I read a page, I may want to write some thoughts. I do not want to wait for a "better time" to do this. I had tried Firefox a while ago but was not happy the way it worked on my laptop PC. I have seen many of my students using Firefox and am tempted to give it a try again. This is the result!
