Why weren't you there helping, then? She was preaching her beliefs. You have different beliefs. You have every bit as much opportunity to go to India and teach your beliefs as she had to go and preach hers. Put your life and your energies and your money into putting forward what YOU believe in, just as she did. Then the poor would have had more choices, more options. But she did, and you didn't. Instead you want to sit back in your wealth and comfort and criticize those who were willing to go and put their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honors on the line for what they believed in. Something you were NOT willing to do. What you are really asking is for her to have totally abandoned her beliefs and adopted yours. If she were alive, she could fairly ask the same of you. It's simple to sit at a computer and criticize those who are actually out there putting their beliefs into action. Very simple. Doesn't do the poor of India a damn bit of good, but makes you feel good about yourself at no cost to your wallet, comfort, or easy lifestyle. I frankly don't have a hell of a lot of respect for that.
