Whither Civilisation ?

                                             Whither Civilisation ?

The Nazi holoocaust does different things to different people. Anne Frank was one sane by-product, while Josef Fritzl is an insane by-product. It is surprising how he could for years maintain an underground cellar in the heart of the city and do such horrendous acts upon his daughter is bestiality at its worst. That his wife did'nt kniow a thing about her Devil-Husband's Dr. Jekyll personality is all the more intriguing ! As if the world wasn't fed up with 11th September triggered terrorism, Talibanism, Bin Ladenism et al we are now having Bush-Baby bullyism ! He, meaning George Bush Jr., is accusing India with its growing Middle-Class' Food Consumption habits as the reason for America's Food Crisis. Americans are known to be the fattest nation with food habits crossing maniacal consumption and wastage proportions. Their daily leftovers can feed most of the developing countries. Americans are No. 1 criminals in the matter of Bio-fuel research and wastage, and Genetically Modified Food Production and proliferation. When the world should be thinking of Global Warming, Ozone hole and a proverbial world flood of Biblical Proportions waiting to happen, here we have a nit-picking President trying to bully and get his teeth into further world crises after Iraq. Nearer India we have the Chinese dragon playing cat'n'mouse games with its neighbours after annexing Tibet in the early Fifties.Tibet and Tibetans shall survive and overthrow the Chinese oppressors after the Beijing Olympics which is going to be a flop-show and turning point. When Communism is dead a few totalitarian regimes can't bulldoze a freedom-loving humanity into subjugation by force of numbers. And what about modern India and Indians ? We, unfortunately. are in a stage which the Americans passed through in the sixties. throwing up LSD-Culture, Free Love and Hippidom. It was a failure, wasn't it ? So are a few malls, Bermuda Shorts and Baseball Caps going to change India ? There is no alternative to indegenious industry and normal family values. The single parenthood is a total failure in America where they at least have a social security back-up. No point in living doggiee style, mating here, mating there, mating everywhere. Hey, humanity has survived several such cults and shibboleths and will survive, yet again.
