India is, indeed, a great nation. And there are a great many Indians who have espoused the beliefs you claim, not the least of which was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. However, since then, India has also proven that it is also capable of the worst racist terrorist violence -- witness the never-ending border wars with Pakistan, and the extremely bloody revolution that lead to the forming of Pakistan and what has since become called Bangladesh. Need I mention the nuclear brinkmanship that brings us closer to World War III than the Cuban Missile Crisis ever did? If you are going to claim the legacy of the great Mahatma in your defense, you must also recognize that your own people are not the pure-as-glacier-ice race that you claim. The Indian coin is a very old one, and there is a lot on the good side, but all coins have two sides, and the Indian coin also has a lot on the bad side. I would urge you to be very careful in how you try to spend this currency, lest you lower yourself to the level of the people you decry. Lesson One: Don't feed the trolls. Ignore Richard, and filter all mail from him to the trash so that you never see it. Do the same for anyone else that offends you so deeply -- including me, if you so choose. Lesson Two: Get over it. You're better & smarter than that. There are people out there whose only apparent purpose in life is to antagonize you. Lesson Three: Get on with life. -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
