True enough. But the important thing is the food. My parents are from India, and I've spent enough time there to understand hunger - real hunger - at least at a distance. The important thing is the food. My great-grandfather used to stand at his front door every evening, and as people went by he would ask them if they had eaten a good meal that day. If not, they were invited in for dinner - no matter who they were, what they were wearing, it didn't matter. They would not go hungry. Why did he do it? I have no idea - he died before I was born. But to this day people are alive because he fed them, and that's what matters. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
