These people are mere cogs, automata; they simply feel to make sure you have punched the right holes. As they cannot think, they cannot be impressed; they are clods.

Still, you can watch the action online, which at these prices is probably the safest thing...
...such bread-and-butter issues as the country?s onion shortage. ?By projecting Sonia as a Christian and implying that there?s a threat to Hindus from conversions, they?re trying to create an issue with which to beat Congress,? says Rahman.
