And the sample of our culture we've given for the world to see promotes a an image of violence, irrationality and fanaticism. Largely, this has become how the world sees "Brown" people. We can't really expect the world to be here to see the reality. The reality to them is what they see from where they are.<br /><br />I'd like to hear more from you though about why you say that "The common man’s incompetence at the political level and his impossibility to impose change in political domain is just another myth".Deepak Valagamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12383821096232845044noreply@blogger.com
