To The Great Spinmeister:
You are rambling today.
You must have watched a lot of movies about the fantasy land of Cowboys, Indians and Guns. Otherwise you wouldn't associate modern Texas with guns as you do.
Going with the flow of the north-eastern press, you are making it appear as if everyone in Texas owns a gun and believes in gun power. Bush's victory and Kerry's defeat may be sour grapes for you all but it is time to drop that subject and regroup yourselves for 2008. Like it or not, Bush has been elected in a democratic process and he is here to stay for four more years unless you can find reasons to impeach him.
Regarding ULFA, can you show me where ULFA has said their new nation of Assam will be democratic? Or any political system? From their behavior and current practice, there is every reason to believe that they will kill you or drive you out of assam if you do not agree with them. Remember Pol Pot?
Who is the congressman with criminal charges? Are you spinning again? If you are talking about Tom DeLay - when was he convicted of criminal charges? I don't like Tom DeLay myself but I am not going to accuse him of things he didn't do. You may want to check the facts again - the Texas congressmen alone cannot decide who the majority leader will be or whether Tom DeLay will remain in that position, it takes all of the republican congressmen to make the selection, including those from your state.

Aren't they? And how about Americans? If I had to take a wild a-- guess, I might suggest the majority of Americans are without guns too. Only exception might be the great democratic land of Texas, where the congress-men change their rules to allow their leader to remain so, even if indicted for criminal charges. Also, why else would the great warrior from Texas, G W Bush, strike a Gary Copper pose from Gunfight at the OK Corral ( or wasa it Last Train from Gunhill?) in a recent group photo, ready to pull a couple of imaginary Colt 45s, while Cheney looks away and Rove hands wringing, looking at his toes ( embarrassed perhaps)?===============================================================

Power flows from ballot box and not barrel of gun: PM
http://www.ptinews.com/pti/ptisite.nsf/$All/A54920143DF1115A65256F54002CFAFF?OpenDocument
[In a clear message to ultras, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today declared that power in India flows from the ballot box and not the barrel of a gun and asserted there was no issue or grievance that was intractable.
"In the final analysis, power in India can only flow from the ballot box, never from the barrel of a gun," he told the Diamond Jubilee celebration of 'The Shill! ong Times' here.
Singh, who is on a three-day visit to the North East, said "there is no issue, no grievance that is so intractable that it cannot be resolved through a patient, constructive dialogue, free from pre-condition".
The Prime Minister said "This is the only possible way forward. Our democratic system is open enough, resilient enough and flexible enough to welcome the participation of all shades of opinion". ]
