This is from the Dhaka Tribune. The Righteous have been bitching and moaning about the statue of Justice outside the country's high court, complaining that it's a heathen goddess. I think the idea applies to us as well. The statues of Beauregard and Lee and Jefferson Davis have been torn down by our our version of the Hefajat. They're the same bunch who've been trying to distort the English language.
[Dhaka Tribune] I won’t pretend to understand the complexities of governance and politics in an ostensibly democratic nation such as ours, but surely one would agree that the core concept isn’t anything up for interpretation: People vote you to power, and you try to do good by the people.
It’s rarely as simple as that, of course, with multiple lines dividing the people itself, colouring each section according to their own nuances and quirks.
