Burma, America, The World, Art, Literature, Political Economy through the eyes of a Permanent Exile. "We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the oppressed. Sometimes we must interfere. . . There is so much injustice and suffering crying out for our attention . . . writers and poets, prisoners in so many lands governed by the left and by the right."

Running around NY on behalf of most persecuted.

Even if you can't go to NY and walk in rain, you can at least click your mouse and fwd or retweet this.
You won't believe what I have achieved by just one click.
Also how just one factoid, given to me in conversation, while walking in NY, helped me.
This was the first person, a former student, who told me of the 1982 racist Burmese "law." Set from above by 4 men, including dictator Ne Win.
"We just thought 1824 (first Anglo Burmese War, is too far off, so we chose 1886 (3rd Anglo-Burmese War.)"
In my book length poem Shee Monkey goes West, a Pew finalist script, the Jade Emperor looks at a chart to see if the red bottom monkeys are the "right shade."
Don't be an extreme nationalist/racist bigot, evil person who thinks only polka dots or stripes have rights.
Refugees mean they sought refuge--and Burma is supposed to be Buddhist, but maybe the m. country is--it is racist.
Enough.
