Thangachi, you say: ''voice for tamils?? good. at last I could see something good in your politics.''
As for me அப்பன் செய்தாலும் குற்றம் குற்றமே - - - becuase of this நாய் குணம் in my young age I quarreled with my warden father, fought with senior bully in schook of agriculture, at work with deputy commissioner because of his arrogance, cheif accountant because of his jealousy [won this grandly], senior member in communist party, administrative officer in education department because of his சாதி பாக்கும் குணம், my father whar he spoke of my wife, and so on.
Of course I did not like the way Pirapakaran forcefully led Lankan Tamils on a confrontational
path that was opening to no where - - - I ddid not like him when he refused to accept that India will never allow a Tamil land in the ''north of Lanka'' becuase the ''tamils in north lanka will join forces with tamils in Tamil Nadu'' and weaken the hand of Hindhi speaking ''north India'' - - - this is a geographical and political fact - - - in 1956 when Manickaidaikaadaar [my boss in 'food control department' and brilliant man] asked me ''young man, what;s your favourite subject in school?''
''Geography Sir''
''Tell me how we can reduce the cost of food?'' [lanka was importing much food then]
''Cut the distance Sir, to reduce cost of transport''
''How do you do that?''
''Cut a canal through India and Ceylon Sir, and ships can go on a reduced distance Sir''
''Who told you that?''
''Anyone can see that Sir, if they look at the world map''
''Where did you learn''
''St Patrick's Sir''
''From where are you ?''
''Atchuvely Sir''
''Thamby, unseen interested parties will never allow a canal through north of Ceylon''.
Later only I heard he was a brilliant scholar and he proposed the ''sethu samuthra'' canal for the first time - - - later he wrote from malaysia articles to papers and magazines and letters to me [ am very proud of these letters - all destroyed].
That's your dada - - - hope you can tell these little things to your nilu and one day she will stand up for the ''weak'', the ''poor'', and the ''Right'' even if the whole world is against !

Subject: [Higher They are Lower They Stoop] Toronto gang member Sanjeev Kuhendrarajah ...Toronto gang member Sanjeev Kuhendrarajah with criminal record, deported from Canada, is now, spokesman for boatload of Tamil RefugeesLet's think: ''Will ordinary innocent Lankan Tamils select a criminal to speak unless they too are criminals''.
When will we Lankan Tamils select a leader without crimnal record or penchant for gun and violence
We Lankan Tamils are ''ignorant fools'' in the eyes of the International Community as we had such a leader in the recent past
