The gnana subyam Narayanasamy talks about Alaska and it is closer to Russia etc as a mad dog; All the settlers of USA including the origin Red Indians were only from Mexico driven out from whose children were born inUSA; all the settlors as of today , came from outside whose children were born only in USA; in short USA, Australia countries were occupied by people from outside and children of them were born there. Father land is certainly fit in. But sanity dies not know all of them and blabbers. Another senile written by Narayanasamy on time matter. If he does not know anything he must remain quite If he wants to to be a critic, he must write the truth and his right knowledge and not blabber as his stuff is zero KR IRS 14 12 23
