He's been here at least 9 years. And why would an immigrant's lack of understanding of "the way things are done in this society" make him any more prone to threats of suing as well as reprisals against people's pets? To some extent, I would think it would make those less likely. If anything, he seems to understand all too well how things are done here, at least sometimes. > Actually, I'm a little surprised that a Hindu > guy who runs a vegetarian restaurant would open up a dead cow and > other corpse emporium like Vivo (ha!, he needs a Latin dictionary).
