Ayk hee thaelee kay chattay battay ...

Maybe size matters. Pakistan's idiotic ban on Blogger sites (according to some ISPs the extended list from the moderately enlightened Government includes Wikipedia) solicited small protests and big activism from Omer & Co. (and a helpful push from Ethan Casey) - but, on the whole, created no major ripples.

Secular democratic liberal India's recent, equally stupid ban, on Blogger sites and a host of others, has had big international press. Tickers run across TV Newscasts on the BBC, Web sites spanning the divide are abuzz, even Pakistani newspapers that took (and continue to take) little or no notice of the plight of their fellow citizens are carrying reports.

Amused - but not overly surprised - to hear that some rectoid in an Indian chat group has suggested that his countrymen not take the quick, simple and helpful route provided by Yassir Memon's team because Tiger Memon was responsible for the Bombay Bombings. If Israel bans Blogger and Marvellous Memon provides help, it's his first name that'll cause problems.

Jeez! Why don't the two countries just merge again. It is obvious that the battle-lnes drawn in the 40s no longer exist. The people now share a common religion (Corruption!) and are mentally joined at the arse! Let no man split asunder what idiocy has joined together.
