> Do we think it wise to instead get into a discussion of geopolitics?

I don't think that is anyone's itention. It has been pointed out that this religious hate which has smoldered in India for so long has not sparked up again in a 'geopolitical' void. People know instantly what is happening to their family on the other side of the world nowadays and they are disturbed. The troubles which have arisen in India have much to do with the proposed building of a temple on the sight of a former mosque (sounds familiar). But to pin it solely to this cause is naive, to disregard cause and effect and the pass-the-parcel of hate, but most importantly to ignore each and every person's role in all of this is to make yourself powerless.
I don't know the people who have paid so terribly for violence someone else incurred, but they are nonetheless my brothers and sisters. I don't subscribe to any dogma, but I believe.
The innocence and freedom of youth is being poisoned by petty adults wrangling as to whose god a certain hill belongs to, while children intrinsically understand how we all stem from a common seed.

OK. Unintended references to "Indian police, the Israeli government, or the British and American governments the U.S. and U.K. politicians" can then be mentally whited out, and we can revert to the tone W'ON set.

Avy was driven away on Sept. 23, and hasn't been heard from since.
For the circumstances, see...


We certainly don't need a board history lesson, especially the way you're "re-writing" history (figuratively, of course).

Fine with me, as long as we don't continue with *your tone.

musick, rest assured that I did (per your prior good advice) check the board history, where Avy was told, "seriously Avy, you were really rude the these two guys and for no reason at all". That day was the last we heard from Avy.

So Max, you have no specific facts to point to, so you resort to vitriol -- and not very good vitriol at that?

I have noted the link, where the facts are quite clear. Ranting does not change them. You are capable of a higher level of dialogue.

Max, thanks for the update! It's good to know she's OK.

I recant! The "literal rewritting of history" is the *accurate description.

(Nothing you might possibly quote will convince me of your interpretation of the above reality, so, Keiva, don't bother)
