Why americans are comparing the conditions of New Orleans is that of Third World ? Nepal is third a third world country , the conditions in Nepal is much better than New Orleans ?

Any comment ?????

because in both places you had troops going around in armored vehicles and pointing guns at civilians and not caring about people's real needs...

The problem due to Katrina proves that US don't know how to deal with the social problems or they don't care the blackies.

It's not an overt racism, as in hey, let's drown a bunch of negros! but it's a racism of neglect and disinterest. Conservatives typically acknowledge the definition of racism as the former and oppose it (most of them anyway), and change the subject on the latter.

That having been said, once you add the racism of the latter to the equation, it often gets backformed into the former, sometimes by design to advocate a particular viewpoint, and sometimes by conviction, and sometimes by ignorance.

The truth is, like all important issues in the US, is somewhere in between in this case, those who would deny that race had ANY part in this calamity and those who believe it to be the defining issue. But the mass media, the mass culture, the pundit class, the politicians tend to draw a binary distinctions far too readily and thus misses the opportunity to actually transform the hearts and minds on the issue.

Loved your second picture, Arnico.

BTW, where was it, is it Baneshwor side? Two utterly confused policemen guarding in an almost worn-out shed whilst at the opposite end of the road lies a pucca building housing a communication corner. Just my interpretation hai, but the pic is awesome.

Keep rolling...

मिलनचोक को आफ्नै अड्डा जस्तो लाग्यो के कता कता र सोधेको नि, दोस्रो फोटो चाहिं ।

Keep rolling...

Arnico:

Could you please do me a favor- what is the Suva-Naam of your digital camera, I mean the model and the company.

Thanks

shree5: I believe the photo was somewhere around Naxal. I'll check this evening when i'm home.

humdrum: I just sent you an e-mail with camera details.

Hi Arnico:

Many thanks for sending me the email, but unfortunately I have not been using that email for quite a while, so please do me a one more favor.

Could you please send me the details on humdrum246@yahoo.com.

Thanks!
