I agree with what Ana Maria's # 1 & 2 Her # 3 is ambiguous. IF she is "blaming" the sons and daughters of the tradespeople for not carrying on the trade, I agree with the sentiments of Marshall and Barad. IF she is "blaming" us ALL, I agree with her. Those of us who live in the west have to l

Pai Tiatrist's grand-daughter in the Herald pic of Selma's article is definitely Gen-X. Still seems "small man" to me. In India as in the rest of the world, the "small man" will always exist. Being in tune with the modern world does not guarantee betterment. It's a question of opportunity availab
