Theresa as in Mother Teresa?

And mind you: if Nehru wouldn't have stopped his suicidal romanticism about agricultural policy and the rewards of simple village life (yeah, wonderful it is) as he fantasized it to be, 4.5 million and maybe even more Indians would have been killed in famines due to Gandhi's disconnected fantasies, and his name would be mentioned in one breath with the name of Stalin, whose agricultural experiments and mismanagement alone killed between 3.5 and 14.5 million Russians, depending on the historian you ask about Stalin's farming genius.
Is this the same person who has a strange dream ideology involving little isolated village fiefdoms and the simple life?
Is Skybird really Ghandi on one of Mohandas bad days?

If needing to confront Saddam or Hitler or Tamerlan or Rome for most of its reign, he would not have survived even the first day of his protest, and we would not even know his name nowadays.
Yes because they would be like....My reaction to such things is total passivity, and refusal to react in any way at all. I just don't feel that I want to. Blackmailing is something I react very negatively to in general. To be honest, it raises my hostility. So let them jump, burn, starve, whatever. I refuse to give it attention or the wanted reaction. :hmmm:
