HI: So then, watching those Shirley Temple movies (when in India?) was/is true or is it still going on? My earliest recollection of hatred felt for British trespassing? was through the actor Michael Ansara (good acting) in one of those films and I've never forgotten that incisive feeling. I have only been with the list a few months and am learning much by what Harshoo (HI!) recommends/suggests/posts (am still on Ghandi & Churchill, so much reading between the lines dialogue) but I am not one to be judgmental so I leave you with my thoughts above right now. Thank you kindly. --Manaia ++++ --- On Mon, 7/14/08, CDique1048@aol.com <CDique1048@aol.com> wrote: > Reading these interesting posts and just have to add my two > cents or two > pice.
