That may not be true, but it would put things in a more interesting light. Taking food from a small vendor in India and not paying them is trying to starve them. It sounded consistent with the ideas and purpose of the train full of activists. I'm rarely an apologist for Muslims anywhere. Yet I find my sympathies with the Muslims in this case, even after they burned the train. > From: fork-admin@xent.com [mailto:fork-admin@xent.com] On Behalf Of > Stephen D.
