When he died people cried... that must have counted for something. Did women love this reign? yes! A lovable leader isn't necessarily a great or even effective leader. History is always being changed, and guess work is sometimes a valid method for finding truth. find truth in of something that is living and not guessing what would have happened and holding a position that is judgemental based on future sin that you think would have been committed - this is not the minority report. In this case, what's living? Or is it, 'who is living'? And if it's about 'now', what can one judge? 'Minority' or 'majority' what's the difference, when it comes to a 'living who' making a judgment? I respect and admire Sankara for his boldness. He did what he judged to be best, but that's where his-story ends, and mine begins. indeedMinority report ni mpi!All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
