   Just  because  you're  indulging  in  samsaric life,
don't  think  others don't try to follow the Old Indian
Guy's advices. I don't think all the USA is represented
by  your  views,  but if you think that trying to avoid
harsh  speech is too Buddhist, I humbly sugguest you to
leave your camaraderie aside and try again.

   Best wishes,

P.S.  If  you  want to indulge in harsh speech, please,
write  me  to  my  personal e-mail, because I will have
canceled  my  subscription  by  the time you're reading
this post.
