  There is a method by which one can find out if the facts are correct, or,
  can be construed as being correct. From what Gargan wrote about the problem
  it appears to me, by employing " that " method, he is correct. Stated very
  crudely the method entails by verifying whether your experience(s) agree
  with the author (Gargan) has said. Several proceedures follow from this to
  further analyse this point.

  Sir, whether you or many others put me into a kill file is completely upto
  you. This is a free country, and, as long as you are not going bananas like
  Jeffrey Dahmer, you are almost O.K ! FYI, I checked my response and did not
  find any abusive word. Perhaps, you have a less "offensive" vocabulary than
  mine. Or, maybe that you are one of those fortunates who have seen the
  world from the window of flying airplane *only*. (I hope I am not abusive!)

   I am quite taken aback at this statement. But then .......

   This is what is the core of all the reason why you make such vacuous 
   statements. I now understand why you make such hollow and naive comments.
   You see, TY, experience is something that cannot be substituted. Simply
   asking questions without any burning desire to obtain the answer can
   be disastrous. You have revealed that you are such one of the "hollow men".
   If you don't give a damn, why bother to subscribe to 
   "alt.culture.us.american-indian" ? Why read the newsgroups ? Why enter the
   diatribe ? Why pretend that you are inquisitive ??????????

   Then why enter the controversial discussion(s) ? Why ? Why not spend time
   in the shades of cool breeze in Hawaii/ Honolulu/ elsewhere - far from the
   madding crowd ??????

   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

   No, reading what you feel (assumed that they are not pretentions), I fully
   agree. I withdraw my statements.

   The "jump" to conclusions were because I detected a distinct hollowness
   in the few of your rebuttals, and, then the proof is just above !

   Well as you contend that India means *nothing* to you. I feel that it is
   a situation - unique in nature. Unfortunately, I cannot have any favorable
   opinion about you. You may have sure worked in high positions in India, and,
   was fortunate in a way that you did not or could choose to ignore what does
   happen there. On my part, I was almost in the same position as you were.
   But being a "ruffian" (as you might have concluded), I chose to move around
   and see what happens. Who are my countrymen, what is their condition ? 

   I may live anywhere in this world. But, if I get half a chance to help India
   I shall do it, because it means a lot to me. (Just look at the Jews in the
   U.S and the educated Indians like yourself.)

   I rest my case here.
