I'm not trying to sound like Jerry Falwell. I'm thinking out loud how lucky we are that the US has attained the benefits that we have today. By the standards set in vedic literature, particularly the Shrimad Bhagavatam, the US culture would be considered for sudras, at best. You think most americans get married to > enjoy sex?? Yes. The American culture accepts this as part of the marriage institution. In vedic culture, marriage is considered to be a concession to indulge in sexual activity for procreation. Regards, John R.
