Mohan,
Re: Plano

As with any major affluent suburb in the US, Plano is suffering from side effects of people trying forgo traditional values and in the single-minded pursuit of materialism. Most households are two-income(high) with most of the time and attention paid to work as opposed to their kids. As a result, we have a significant drug problem in the public schools (notably LSD). The city officials are putting tremendous resources into combating the drug problem and hopefully they will succeed. Having said that, they are a lot of quality people(Mostly born-again Christians, whom Iam familiar with).

Regarding Peter M, I got sick of people trying push people of Indian origin around because they think we are passive, have a funny accent(which I don't). They think that just because there are millions of poor people in India, we are all alike and should be treated as such. I guess that is the price we have to pay for coming to this country.

Hope I didn't ruin the spirit of the thread by reacting to Peter and Worwick.
Regards,
Clayton
