Namaste Harsha,

 

I have had time to ponder a little. I think that the majority of

people writing on your site are Americans is part of the

misunderstanding. Not all but the majority, some are perhaps Israeli

but they are in the same boat.

 

As a European-Canadian we don't have the same self censoring culture

and political correctness that is prevalent in the USA. I find this

totally hypocritical of course but I don't live there like you so I

don't have to deal with it. Although I once did live there so my

experience is valid.

 

So I apologise for upsetting you..........ONS....Tony.
