Syed Shah:

HARTFORD, CT Friday The 13th. One family guy with his wife and two young kids standing up front of the Governor Office in the State Capitol of Connecticut and States Supreme Court .One man protest is about Patriot Act , Hate Crime and Civil Liberties for people of color. The letter he is handing to the people is about asking Justice from the federal government. Bush administration?s anti-terrorism practices represent a stunning assault on basic principles of justice, government accountability, and the role of the courts. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King is his hero as his letter say at the bottom. The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it?

Tariq:

In a high tech Intensive care unit one dying man told "let me die I do not want to bother my children".

So expensive; is the cost of dying.

Is it true that "all progress in inimical to mankind".
When you are dying you wonder what all the fuss was about.

Rishikesh Kumar, New Delhi:

Mr Akbar, you have raised a very good issue before global leaders but all these leaders are not as good as your thought so you will have to specify some facts into the article. Even our leaders see only barometer of Sensex and read only number pointed on thermometer which is heated by earning of big businessmen. They are not looking towards our millions of people who dont know what is computer and sensex.

If SEZ is ready for our business group, there is also a good kaante for our large section of people,who will abandoned due to the SEZ.
