ssNY, Is that why you "stayed home" on March 27th, 2005? The pro-King rally? :p PSC, I have much to say against your views on the relevance of monarchy in Nepal, but I am frankly tired of repeating myself for now. Perhaps someday when the need to dig into Sajha archives and revive the old arguments becomes de rigueur, I will be obliged do so. For now, The aim of this upcoming rally is to create better awareness of the dire situation in Nepal. So, even though YOU may not agree with it, the rally is NOT aimless. Some of us feel that the time to rigorously pursue the afore-mentioned goal is impeccable. So, even though YOU may not want to be part of it, the rally is NOT "waste of time and efforts" for us. Therefore, since we have an aim and the unflinching urge to follow up on our aim, even though YOUR ideas may not conform with it, the rally is NOT useless.
