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."

Summing up for today--It means you and I can make a difference as ordinary citizens and consumers.
In the mid 1990s my beautiful friend said she'd given up (with respect to Burma/Myanmar)--doing it alone was not going to work.
I asked if she couldn't go teach in some community college or something.
She said,"It's been too long" since her PhD.
Rachel Maddow on the other hand, with a Cambridge Pol Sci Ph.D. says she has worked since she was a teenager.
In 2 days Jim Acosta's Substack increased about 44,000 --
I believe you do what you can every day --
You work with whomever you respect.
You stay away from people you can't stand.
A leading dissident once said, "I can go work as a gardener."
He has a beautiful garden.
