I tend to think that only a professional grievance-seeker would be offended by this. I'm proud that Indians are working in gas stations and convenience stores - that's the first step on the ladder of the American Dream, and good for them for getting out there and working hard instead of sitting on their ass complaining about racism and the oppression of American society. I don't think there's anything demeaning about it at all, and I don't think any less of Hillary for making the joke. She has been a surprisingly good Senator and is, with Joe Lieberman, one of the handful of really effective and reasonable voices on foreign policy in the Democratic Party. My opinion of her has never been higher, and I can't imagine that this little thing will do her any harm. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
