Kari Lake, Mild Trumpism (Truism), Dissent of Minorities, Cricket, Crickets, Mosquitoes and the Environment
It is a lot to cover but all are inter connected and never integrated.
I am in the process of writing a book on mosquitoes.
This time with a difference.
I am writing everything good about mosquitoes, not necessarily in evolutionary terms.
In UK and USA all emigrants are despised like mosquitoes.
Why?
It is all about Racism and White is Superior Mentality ingrained in the System.
In UK on the surface, it looks fair to Asian immigrants.
In my time 60% of the N.H.S (most likely their UNHAPPY descendants are also trapped in the same System) was staffed by Asians.
In fact we had an Overseas Doctors Association to voice our grievances.
It did not take long for me to realize that I was posted to all the remote places where White (if there were white guys they were Irish by descent) British Guys did not want to work.
I wanted to work in a University setup and I knew the Universities were exclusively for the British.
I had enough working experience in Ceylon and did not have to learn anything new (In fact-White guys from Germany and Poland- They too were discriminated in the System-).
French dare come to UK!
These guys were visibly not pleased that they had to learn the basics from an Asian Guy.
I did not enjoy it at all but all my intentions were to hang on till I was eligible for a paltry pension (certainly not the citizenship - it was natural after 6 years of continuous service, one is eligible for resident status, those days) which I had to wrestle a bit with the N.H.S, as an overseas agent.
They actually use the word agent as is in spy agents of 007 of James Bond type.
Now to the crunch point of Ceylon Postal Service which was established by the British in early 1880 to pay the salaries of the expatriates (another technical term in colonial history) has gone to dogs (really termites) with the current UNP/SLPP administration retrenching the postal workers to establish a private commercial venture.
The letter from the Pension Department that I received recently was eaten by termites at the Post Office.
In fact, I had to cut the top margin and spray thinner to kill termite eggs, so that my books are not invaded by them in lss than 3 months.
Going digital is not thew solution.
This is the point Katy Lake should jump on and invest the next two years.
There is “de facto” and “de juro” terminology in government census and election terminology.
I go for, ONLY de facto (at least six months of the working year) guys and girls should be voting. I do not want the guys who come for temporary work status voting in my district.
They should go back to their own residential areas and vote. By doing that one can estimate the mobile population who are like termites, if not mosquitoes who deprive the resources for poor locals. The mosquitoes one can kill in their act of blood sucking but the termites are underground and come out only during mating season. They are the food for the frogs and toads and we have a resident lady frog who comes to devour the termite flies. The male fly I think die after mating and I thank the lady frog for the service she render BUT the Queen of the Termite Colony, I think live for over 100 years.
I have nothing against the ants.
There much versatile and have large soldiers who invariably look after my orchid flowers.
Kary Lake should point out that de facto vote is more important and the postal votes will be attacked by the termites, if they stop counting over weekends and take such a long time to count, them.
It is painful and I thank myself, I am not in America witnessing this saga.
The problem for Ceylon is when the next election round comes nobody would get the 50% of the total vote and they will keep counting the second choice and the third choice and by the time counting is finished 50% of the ballots will be eaten by termites (mind you ants do not eat paper, they have better taste buds) and the lawyers will make representation for termites (environmental issue now).
Just in time, I got an environmental issue interposed in between to highlight the failure of the WHO to curtail Corona Virus pandemic.
I have few more point to dish out.
The mosquitoes is easy.
I thank them for the British leaving this country.
British left not because of Mahatma Gandhi but because of mosquitoes (in Ceylon it was leeches and the wounds the leech bites made got infested).
The malaria mosquitoes do not breed above 2500 feet and that is why most of the governors lived in Nuwara Eliya just above 2500 feet. Leeches do not come out and they are happy (like democratic politicians who do not want to shed their perks, Nancy Pelosy and her husband are classic examples of geriatrics who govern USA, Mitch McConnell is no different ) with one meal once a year.
I have two counts left.
Congratulate to England Team and Ben Stokes (who had a torrid time in the past) for winning another Trophy. Yes cricket belongs to England and not Indian I.P.L (pandemic killed cricket in India and I feel very sorry for Virath Koli.
Such an elegant player who has no place in this big bash tournaments.
I have now only left with the insect, the crickets.
I planted 10 maize seeds to support RW Rajapaska.
Only two germinated and one plant already showing signs of ill health. Probably the larva is eating up the stem.
I do not want the crickets to come and rot the remaining exotic plants in my rooftop garden.
No more germinating maize seeds.
