for Su Su and Others: (r)



Mg Yoe, this is not about dreams, this is about hard concrete realities,
sticking to beliefs, principles and logic, as with the leader Daw Aung
San Suu Kyi, and fighters in the field, living and dead, respect their
sacrifice and their memory, those people doing spdc work like this so
called "susu" are devious appearing here and there to be like minded
pro-activist to discredit determined activists. ask susu thing if it
favors boycott? no susu thing does not favor boycott. ask susu thing it
it favors constructive engagement, yes susu thing favors constructive
engagement. very easy to see through this invisible chimera of susu
thing, any school kid can do that. 

but this is not about school kids chaining themselves to gates, singing
freedom songs and then disrupting the logical systematic hard determined
work of genuine activists, not mouthpieces like susu spdc thing. 

MARTIN LUTHER KING had a dream and was killed for it. And he is an
international leader who raised the consciousness of the world to a
higher level. 

this low form of life susu thing by all its whimsy arguments is dog
barking but thankyou for showing again how clear contrast is between
truth and false hood, and where to broker the political realities of
trade offs in practical give and take world.
