In this scene from "Do the Right Thing," two characters are engaged in an animated conversation on a dimly lit street at night. The character on the left is wearing a white t-shirt with colorful graphics, standing with arms crossed and a defiant expression. The character on the right wears a yellow, striped shirt with a vibrant pattern, accessorized with glasses and jewelry. Their posture suggests a casual camaraderie, although the conversation seems to carry some tension or urgency.
The background is adorned with a variety of posters, some of which are partially torn or covered with graffiti, contributing to the gritty urban atmosphere typical of the film. The lighting is warm, casting soft shadows and enhancing the vibrancy of their clothing, while the wall behind them is a mix of brick and plaster, adding texture to the scene.
The subtitle reads, "Gonna tell me — Tell me, Radio Raheem, to turn down my box and shit, man," indicating a conversation possibly about music or personal space. The use of "Radio Raheem" is a reference to a character known for his love of loud music, a thematic element in "Do the Right Thing." The scene captures the essence of street life and the dynamics within the community depicted in the movie.

Story

Podi Hamaduru’s Coca Cola Story and Retirement Age

8:00 p.m.

I remember Podi Hamaduru at Gangaramaya Temple, he was visiting our house. As he's quite friendly with us, if not the most friendly with anyone. And he was telling me, oh some of these kids are very clever, you can't fool them. He was saying that some kids were with the parents. The dad has been like they don't drink liquor anymore. And the kid's pointed out, they drink "soft drinks" like Coca Cola. This Podi Hamaduru told me this story a long time ago, it stuck with me.

I'm not for adding a "retirement age". I think discriminating against old people, or the elderly, is wrong. I think Joe Biden is perfectly capable. He might be feeble or senile or decrepit, but that's natural. This doesn't disqualify him from serving, as his judgement, isn't impaired, his mental faculties are sound. He seems to have everything together. I think the opposite, when someone retires, their life, their health, it worsens. Their lives become meaningless. The answer is to widen the age of entry, to treat young people as adults, let them vote, to take part in leadership and to focus on results. Lee Kuan Yew worked till the day he died, as he felt that if you stop working or doing stuff, there's no real point.

I'm 30 years old. The past minimum age was 30, Sirisena has increased it to 35 with an amendment which included many new rules, designed to keep Rajapaksa out of office. But we can ask people to provide an exemption, if there are enough petitions, it's enough to get through this obstacle or hurdle.
