just becoz he has never logged in does not mean that he cannot access
the mail you send to him. it is possible that he logs in to other
machines and forwards all his mail to that machine. so try sending him
mail to this address and if he hopefully forwards all his mail to some

How pathetic.  This is such a woeful endorsement of the place from which
Raj received his education.  Not only does he not know the meaning of a
relatively common word, he does not have the simple common sense to look
it up in a dictionary.  Instead Raj (excuse me, ---raj, very e.e. cummings
of you) needs to ask a 5 year-old for the definition.  Granted this may be a
very precocious child, but anyone who has the knowledge to post on a news-
group should know the meaning of simple words.

---raj, if you see this note, ask that child to read it and explain it to
you.  For your benefit, the previous sentence contained only one multi-
syllabic word.

Share and Care Foundation

IMPORTANT:
1) The above address has CHANGED from the previous address. UPS
shipments to the old 74 ORANGE TURNPIKE address get returned!

2) Also, the correct address above is good ONLY for clothes shipments.
It is helpful to write "CLOTHES" on your boxes.

3) For tax-exempt receipts, correspondence or any other info please
call ASHA DALAL at 201.825.0667 to obtain another address where mail

Well, well, well. One small step for a woman, but a giant
leap (backwards) for (Indian) man-woman relations!

Just imagine that your remark about Indian men finds wide acceptance 
among a majority of the Indian women (fortunately, it wouldn't). 
And then, ask yourself whether there is _any_ chance of improvement 
in the relations between Indian men and women.

You really know how to break the ice :-)

The point is, as I have been trying to say, women everywhere
in the world are subjected to tyranny. This does not mean that
nothing should be done about it. What I take exception to
is your reference to Indian men as "sleazy slimeballs" or whatever.
Apparently, you have not tried to talk to some American women
about how _their_ men treat them. (BTW, are you not the same 
person who said "98% of the Eastern men are SCUMS" ?)

Oh yeah, you have access to "advanced communication modes" all

Depends on when you think life begins. 

Most medical people think that it begins when the fertilized egg is 
implanted into the wall of the uterus. Until this point, the fused
egg is basically a pair of cells and does not carry the potential for
life until it is set up in the right environment.
The National Right-to-Life committee, predictably, believes that life
begins at the moment the sperm and egg fuse. Using this criterion, the
vaccine is causing an abortion. In perfectly normal women, however, the
fused egg may often not be implanted in the wall of the uterus, possibly
because of hormonal swings, metabolism changes, or some other unexplained
phenomena. Thus many women have natural termination of pregnancy at this
point, and may not even know they were ever 'pregnant'.

Take your choice.
Susan.

Some in the West donot look at their own environmental or human rights problems
, but spend more resources in lecturing other countries.  One of the motive is
to delay the development of other countries.  If India became self sufficient
in food production or a major exporter of agriculture, it can hurt ambitions of
export to India.  Pressure on human rights is also a way to encourage break up
of the country.
 
One does not have to look far to see the environmental damage that is done dail
y in the US.  But no one raises much noise.  US has already built major dams, h
ighways, airports.  But in developing countries such developments are not yet c
ompleted.  Its highways alone occupy more area than the state of Indiana.
Parks and forests are removed every day for various construction projects.
 
In terms of human rights the problems of native Indians and minorities should b
e noted.  But more importantly, when a open challenge is made to disrupt law
and order, the authorities here resort to every means fair or unfair to supress
dissent without regard for any human rights.
 
Now, the motive of US activists in attempting to create problems for India is u
understandable.  But it is surprising how easily they are able to brainwash
many educated Indians.  There is no doubt there is big money in these activitie
s.  Otherwise who would ever imagine that Medha (an activist) would be able to
to visit US on her own.
 
For those with spare time and energy, if you are concerned with environment
and human rights, do something to help control these problems in US.  Neither W
orld Bank or US congress or senate are appropriate forums for Indian issues.
Indian govt is well qualified and competent to make decisions on these issues
on the basis of local factors.  Would the US like its environmental decisions
to be scrutinized by the Indian parliament in regular hearings. Or how about
human rights record?
 
The benefits of the dam would help millions of people who are suffering from se
vere droughts on a regular basis.  It will help provide food for the increasing
 Indian population.  Right now the water is flowing straight into the sea.  No
doubt few thousand people will be displaced.  Much can be done to help them
by raising funds for them here in addition to the govt help.  Those who feel st
rongly should show their concern by donating money and asking world bank to don
ate money to them, rather  than trying to hurt the development of India.
 
Those who want to keep India an underdeveloped country and feel disappointed at
its progress will lead a very sad life indeed!  The development of India
will not stop, with or without World Bank help.

You have taken examples from a small minority - Tamilians, where the last name
is invariably the first name of a man (Can't blame them, if they start using
Iyers and Iyengars, at least in Tamilnadu the environment is not favorable, but
I am digressing ..). In case of Patel, Ghosh, Vempati and Singh, though the
womyn acquires the last name of the husband, it is better than the Tamilian
situation. 

I want to change my last name to Madras (inspiration from Carnatic musicians)
so that my wife, also from Madras, can feel less exploited, but she along with
many others thrashed the idea because they say I do not qualify to be called
Mr. Madras ! 

On a serious note, the ladies mentioned above are enraged (justifiably) about
some real problems womyn face  and I am sure this name business is not a big
deal for them. I  expect Nath Gopalaswamy to flame me and you for dwelling
on trivial stuff.
