I didn't take it as abnormal or unstressing. He was making a point. And in my mind, the point stuck -- quite deeply. He is an effective point maker. I have seen him do this on various occaisons. It has occured to me that sometimes the "pretext" or trigger may not be a real or current concern, but he makes up something as an example to make a broader point. Remember, this is the guy who used to chase after workers at the Rishikesh ashram with a big stick of wood. Would he actually have struck them? I don't think so. Did he make an emphatic point the workers did not soon forget? I think so. > ------------------------ Yahoo!
