Bernie Meyer is more Gandhi than Gandhi! He wrote me a nice email about my post, by the way. Bernie said, "Would it be alright to forward your blog to the Gandhiserve Digest in Germany? How long is the blog available?" Would it be OK? I'll consider it. ;) Always love an opportunity to increase my German viewers. That is funny! Bernie Meyer is more Gandhi than Gandhi!

The Gandhi video incedent is just the sort of thing they could use to justify taking even more of our rights away.

That is exactly what I was alluding to when I said it was a slippery slope.

Btw, I always find it amazing that white guys seem to do a much better job of potraying Gandhi than most Indian men.

Thanks for letting me get this off my nearly perfect chest.

Glad to be any assistance :-D

I am afraid that once the big media conglomerates figure out that podcasting is going to obviate the TV, they will swoop in and ban us from creating our own content. My partner says that that is impossible but I would hate to see it happen. The Gandhi video incedent is just the sort of thing they could use to justify taking even more of our rights away. OK. I am not usually paranoid or one to lecture, I just encourage caution.

I felt and extreme, for me, sense of reverence. I think I would feel more free to spoof Jesus than Gandhi, perhaps because I feel some cultural ownership of Jesus, if that makes any sense. Like I would be more likely to litter on American soil than while visiting another country. I don't little, though.
