Dear Lightages:
Your apology is accepted and, I offer mine for any offense I may have unwittingly caused. Please see below the post I was just about to post before your latest.
--Please do not take personal offense, when none is intended. Notice I said "proselytizing" Vegans, Vegetarians, and PITA members. I have known quite a few Hindu's (of many shades of skin tone) over the years, and have found them to be just as literate, civilized, and cultured as the people I grew up among, and in many cases more so. They were inventing zero and counting infinities, when my ancestors were running around naked with their faces painted blue. I am sure that the Jainist practice of Ahimsa will allow for a little gentle finger poking at the riding of the high horse. Next time I will only refer to American Fundamentalist TV Preachers as being sanctimonious finger waggers and rattlesnake juggling sects as holier than thou breast beaters. That way I should be safe. And indeed I know that if ever I was starving to death, and was within inches of a box of chicken mcnuggets, and was discovered by a wandering Jainist Holy Man, he would no doubt immediately take off and try to borrow some already cooked vegetables from a sinner.
