i guess Taliban also closed many schools when they rule Afghanistan. I am wondering if there is any celebrations for human rights violations since there are some countries are popular for violating human rights. Or, if there is any award for human rights violaitons. May be China should lead a coalition of human right violaitons.

another apocalyptic show down by mother nature like two days back could send the entire city under water and may be it could trigger a total shut down.

Colombo 5-15 and the rest of the sountry is not required to hero worship the prez, so they can go about their work as normal.
