Re: [nukkad] to Cynthia

Easy reading is damned hard writing. -Nathaniel Hawthorne, writer (1804-1864)

Ref:

You asked me in another mail what I think is the essence of America.
The essence of America is that I can express my views, ESPECIALLY
against government policy.
--Cynthia

************************************************

It is a pity that you cannot come out with anything unique in your
attempt to define the essence of America. What is so unique about
being able to express your views, ESPECIALLY
against government policy? Are people less free in this respect in UK,
Germany, France and India? The facts are reverse. It was the great US
where gags were officially put on US papers during the war, asking
them not to publish views critical of US. It was the great US where
govt. told the concerned newspaper to suppress details and photos of
Abu Ghraib torture and the newspaper complied till it learnt that the
news were going to be made public through other leaks. It is the great
US where people are shot dead at petrol pumps not because they have
done or said something against US but, because, the intelligent
Americans are unable to distinguish the beard of a Sikh from that of
Osama!

US, you are great indeed!
