Difference of opinion should NOT stop one from fighting for the freedom of speech of another individual, as long as they exercise that right civilly, observing all the decorums expected of them in social discourses.
But, sadly, NOT everyone seems to think so.
Video of April 2014 Rosenfield Program presentation at Grinnell College. It covers the plight of marginalized groups, such as Dalits, women, Tharus and Tamangs both in the country and abroad, and what COMMITTED is doing about it all.
Questions about the media in Kathmandu and difficult questions for my fellow Nepalese...at this difficult time.
Life is life, regardless of nationality, religion, skin color or any trait you want to name. And suffering does not discriminate. But to social and other media, the value of life appears to depend on one or combination of traits, such as nationality and religion.
Additionally, the suffering of some are more of a suffering than those of others. Not to me.
And, what's more, some believe that ones pain and suffering can be alleviated by causing pain and suffering to others. I don't.
Could it be because we, Kathmandu drivers, are so bad, hilarious and sad at driving and parking and honking that we are so bad at driving issues, and parking on sides of issues, that matter to us and we are as bad calling out those who should be called out? I think so.
It's time that we held our leaders, our government, driving our country backwards and parking our country where they personally benefit from, accountable to us. Kathmanduites, side with the the rest of the population and honk at the leaders prodding them to steer the country in the direction that benefits us all, not just them.
All might be fair in love and war but when it comes to wild life conservation and discoveries...I don't think so!
