Thanks Pachipro. And here's something for Maciamo to chew over. I read this to think things over when I question what the hell am I doing trying to effect change in peoples' minds and attitudes?? Why is it that we think forcing progressive changes to some conservative societies [eg. Islamic ones] is "good" but other conservative ones [eg. Japanese, Indian] "bad"? IMO, progressive changes are always good for any society.
