Slip, I couldn't understand the post, even if I sensed your anger. Or, is it angst, frustration ... ?
What exactly are you riled about : Me, Upanishads, India, Slums, Slumdogs, Millionaire, Slumdog Millionaire, Religion < " religious explanation ">, Fraternity, Brotherhood ... ! ! ! ? Tell you what : I have not caused it. And, there is no way I can cure it. " ... you pile enough bullshit on top of the bullshit ..." Is this revealing of a personal angst you hold against me ? I'd have the same advice : I have not caused it. And, there is no way I can cure it. On Feb 8, 9:51 am, Slip Disc <[email protected]> wrote: > Yeah, and I'm so very touched by it.
