RESPONSE: We have read some views here from folk who are neither poor nor
lack education. There, your theory is blown out of the water.

RESPONSE: That's correct - a movement in itself cannot be fundamentalist.
But a movement can have a fundamental framework. "Might well have"? What
does that mean, you didn't read the entire article that Google threw up? You
are sounding more and more like the Goanetter who was rehabilitated and put
out to pasture earlier this year. Take Frederick's advice before Pandu
Lampiao talks you into visiting Sawantwadi!!!! Its a good thing. This young
steed named Sunith will not saunter away into the sunset.
