Uneducated masses.

Polonnaruwa, 19-10-1994. The locals in this country are convinced that we, the europeans, are responsible for all the evil in this world, even the tamil question, though it seems to me to be a local affair. It has always been the policy of incometent leaders to blame outside powers so as to give some necesary enemies to their uneducated masses. That way those masses have something to occupy their minds with and a direction for their fustrations, their anger and their hatred..... Busses in this country always seem to have to be hopelessy overcrowded but i managed to get a seat on the bus to Polonnaruwa where i paid a hefty 12 american bucks to see the famous ruins, famous because they are so expensive to see?
