[Reader-list] American Imperialism, Hindu Brahmanism, Islamic Terrorism

[Tapas Ray]

Hasina,

I think you are more fortunate than most people on this list. There's 
some variety in your life. Instead of sticking to the same object of 
hate every single day of the week, you can pick a different one, or a 
different combination, for each day. Like those people who wear a 
different colour for each day, or a different watch. But you will never 
get there if you use your head. So remember to fill your head with a few 
   slogans of your choice with your first cup of tea or coffee each 
morning. That way your ability to think will not come in the way.

Tapas
