[Assam] For your reading sir

Wed Aug 15 20:30:50 PDT 2007

Thanks C'da. His snooty remarks shouldn't keep us from improving our own state. It ain't his money and it ain't my money to eat up either - it's the state's money and need to be utilized for the state. 

Going back to the original topic - then it would be practical to say: Joi Ai Oxom, won't it. 

Being an indigenous citizen does not give one the right (or the heart) to be destructive towards one's own state/land.

Could you simplify it a bit, C'da? Is it that he is acting like giving his own money? My brain just can't comprehend intellectual talks. what is it?>> But I understand you why you can't care less. Those are merely my> spinning :-). No, not spinning this time. could be a paranoid misinterpretation :), but I don't see a spin here.
