Beware, Prentiss, you're getting into some hot blood! :-) Like earlier immigrants, Indians brought a vast supply of traditions one of which was the parasite: SHORT-TEMPEREDNESS. Like any inheritable disease, short-temperedness has been passed from father to son for countless generations, but promise of a brighter future shines forth from the dark tunnel of the past. As Indians acculturate/assimilate, the belts of the deshis will gradually loosen. That should comfort you women out there who are 'stuck' with Indian husbands! :-) Sunil Trivedi sunil@ut-ngp.ARPA ...!ut-sally!ut-ngp!sunil "Beam me up fast Scotty - there's no toilet paper down here!" {No reference to 'discussion' on net.women/net.flame}
