Thread Name: Rape
Subject: RE: Rape
Depravity nourished by greed! Indeed! Funny, I am working on a second Bangladeshi song, after coming to the historical wonder that this very poor nation used to be one of the wealthiest in the world. It seems they produced a fine cotton, now extinct. That cotton was so fine that there is one of the few examples of Bangladeshi muslin left today, a turban, thirty foot by five, which can be folded into a match box... Well it seems the British placed restrictions on the sales of that product, in order that it not compete with British textiles, finaly completing the ruin of the Bangladeshi textile trade by insisting on the raising of jute instead of cotton, not allowing the finished rope even, to be woven in Bangladesh, then after setting Hindhu and Moslem against each other, divided the land... twice. Now, the Bangladeshi strain of cotton is completly extinct... greed leading to depravity at the cost of millions of lives... new song to be posted soon...
All the best, Larry
