finding ways to resist the insanity

Let's face it the world is an insane place. Being that is a given you have to find ways of keeping your head above water. There are ways to preserve your mind and gradually become a force for good over time. The situation is not as hopeless as it would seem. I was aware of that as well.

my life in exile

my life in voluntary exile has not come without its price. However good things come to those who wait. The journey that I am on now is not as of yet complete. The struggles that I have witnessed are manifold. I was aware of that as well.

the changing face of freedom

Freedom has a new face and that face is the nation of India. It will be many things to many people. It will be political liberty, the Chinese counter weight and it will be much more than that. India represents the future of the world and not he past. It is the changing face of freedom.

the freedom of speech

Liberals both in congress and without are waging a calculated war on the freedom of speech. They at the core hate the idea of liberty and they want it only for themselves. When we get rid of such cherished institutions we become one step closer to everything that we most despised. Namely that of dictatorship. The fairness doctrine is anything but fair. It is a naked attempt by the left to muzzle its critics. This cowardly assault on American Values cannot be let to move forward. I was aware of that as well.

In India Term Limits are a good thing

After American President Franklin D. Roosevelt died in office in 1945 America enacted term limits on the US Presidency. India should do the same thing with both the presidency and the prime minister's post. Knowing the Indian love of octogenerian politicians you run the risk of having one of them die while in office. Term limits would end this once and for it. Additionally it would help bring new blood to the for. I was aware of that as well.

the fate of free societies

terrorism is the bane that all free societies sooner or later will have to go through. India and others are ahead of this curb but eventually this problem will replicate itself in Los Angeles California, in Seoul South Korea and Hambourg Germany. Terrorists believe that all societies should be the model of the unsuccessful societies that spawned them. The idea of political liberty is alien to these people. We must make a united stand now.

To Kill a Mockingbird is overrated

Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird is vastly overrated and not all that good a read. Philip K Dick put out better stuff than this on a continuous basis. Certain writer's I have never developed a taste for and she is one of them. I was aware of that as well.
