guys, sorry,

are some of you guys, who are getting the mails in the daily digest
form, getting the email filled with a lot of HTML garbage all over the
place making it hard to read? email me back individually (not on the
list) if you are - and i'll try and fix it.

also, thought this was a nice "article" posted on indymedia to read:

Why is everybody so blind.


im angry that nobody cares enough... 

We live in an incredibly evil world. We spend our lives oblivious to
things going on around us. As an eighteen-year-old student my
responsibilities in my head don't go too far as to protecting my
world. Why is it that nobody cares...or cares enough anyway? What is
going on? How many people understand the happenings of the world...and
how they effect lives...their own lives. Does anybody care if atleast
19 different species of life are wiped off the face of the earth each
day? NO....THEY'RE ONLY INSECTS OR SOMETHING...does anybody care about
the women who were sexually abused in Gujarat over the concept of GOD?
NO...NOW ITS THE NUCLEAR WAR WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON. Our education system
hasn't done anything to make us responsible people. Maybe it has
nothing to do with the education system, maybe it has nothing to do
with anything, but why is it that nobody gives a fuck about politics
or war or terror...coz its boring. Its irrelevant to our lives. We're
confined to maybe reading a few headlines and maybe mentioning that
'oh what happened that day in Gujarat was disgusting'...or 'look
there's killing again in Kashmir'. But facts of life are simply pieces
of conversation around coffee tables. Maybe its because we care but we
have no idea as to what we can do to contribute or help. Maybe we
don't even want to help coz we're so happy in our little barista's
sipping our mocha's and trying to figure out which movie would be
better to watch. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with barista or
movies...don’t get me wrong, I'm just concerned that nobody cares and
anybody who does feels helpless that there's nothing beyond that. I'm
concerned but I can't do anything about it so that's that. Maybe
there's too much anger in my head right now. But its because i have no
idea as to what I'm supposed to do. As if writing one article where
I'm emoting myself is going to do anything for anyone...as if that
even qualifies as progressive action…I watch the news everyday and
swear at CNN and their diplomacy, I laugh everytime I catch president
bush making a speech, I wish I could go report problems in jammu and
kashmir first hand, myself, I cry when I see the people in relief
camps in gujarat...it still doesnt do anything for anyone. but there
are thousands more who wouldn't even know what the hell Godhra is. and
maybe its better that we dont know anything at all. and close our eyes
and sit back and experience nothing. coz either way there's nothing to
do about anything. coz we dont control anything and we never will. we
don't have the resources or the backing or the mind power...and mainly
and most importantly...the FEELING. Maybe all I'm filled with is
angst. But I'm proud to atleast feel.
