back again

saw that my blog was being followed by 3 people and a random google search on "shah latif" put me on the top 10 sites for info on the poet (this thanks to Raza Rumi)

when i point out these right-wing nuances to people, they ask me to chill and that convince me that policies will be presented to the public soon. i sure am waiting for that day.
