Senorita moneyminded, you mentioned "Mademoiselle Samsara"...where did that come from?? FYI, I have 3 legs!! And yeah, simpler english please as your post above was like going through egyptian hieroglyphics...The jist of the subject at hand got lost in some of the undecipherable grammar. Also, you write, "smugness on your family unit status", where da hell did I ever do that? All I did was portray the facts of the Nepal I've always known and am trying to put up a the points which are exhibited in the national papers everyday. Are you denying that such shit exists?? Seriously, if you cannot take negative criticism on your posts, then refraining from posting them in the first place would be the best solution. And yes, I have a "superego". No doubt about that. hahahaha BTW, the Aristotleian philosophy of man being innately good has become a misnomer with the present age where we have wars (not like the good ol' Greek ones), ethnic cleansing, rampant crime in every city/town/village, raping the environment, etc. that this theory of "innately good" just doesn't hold it for me anymore. We're all here to do whats best for us and our loved ones and being selfish is the only true human trait. And for you to talk about recovering addicts doing well for the nation...yes, its a good thing, but the "recovering addict" has to know HOW the nation operates and not look at it through his rosey shades imagining that his education and nothing else would get him far in Nepal. This, dear senorita, will never happen as long as nepotism/favoritism/red-tapeism are a part of a Nepali governement/business' daily operations.
