How old is Aki? the rhetoric is very adolescent.

Well, Aki seems to have a lot of passion for a good cause. Good to see that. I would like to see a more thought-out philosophy here. We should have more faith in the Paki/Indian middle class and hope for change.

LOST, CONFUSED, CALLOUS & PATHETIC

The only redeeming feature is that Aki and his generation are questioning. Perhaps, somewhere, sometime, a little good will come out of it.

I found it trite superficial when they unilaterally decided that lower concert prices would mean gun toting lechers invading their turf. So they put their faith in the elites and then wonder if the message could get through. Pretty dismal foggy
outlook.
