Roland Francis: Great article Marshall. Balanced and well analysed.And none of it cut and paste. Something your critics would not have thought you capable of doing. Response: Thank you Roland for your compliments. Due to time constraints in balancing work life ( I spend almost 12 hours daily) and family responsibilities, I have not been able to devote much time to writing. I used to contribute to my school and college magazines and professional journals.I am a voracious reader. Therefore, rather than reinvent the wheel, whenever I come across articles or news which interest me or reflect my thoughts or views I post such articles to share them with others and to stimulate thinking. Regarding my critics, I am not too bothered about them. One has to learn to live with them. We cannot wish them away. Without being modest I can confidently state that I can take them on any debate. They pathetically lack knowledge of facts and rely more on rhetoric, sarcasm, ridicule, one-upmanship and last wordism. At the same time their criticism helps me in getting valuable feedback and also in assessing their characters.
Regards, Marshall
