so impressed by this gesure, as to be beside myself. Is this one of the
red bulletin boards? Does it inspire with words like "Crush all
destructive elements... or Chop axe handles into kindling?" And the actual
lPatron of Mon STate USDA was there? In the flesh? In the everpresent,
inescapable green? Brig. Gen. Myint Aung. Ah, Patron has such a lovely
sound to it. So do Peace and Development but it's all SLORC to me.
