Mr. MythMan, From the WSJ, here's some guidance on how to get some REAL respect: >>HISSAR, India -- As India's founding fathers stare down from posters on the wall, Shobha Nehru pauses while chatting with constituents, turns around and burps. At the men-only gathering, that is an ingratiating act showing that this popular local politician is down to earth. But Ms. Nehru belongs to a unique breed in India's rough-and-tumble, often corrupt political world. She is honest, hard-working, productive -- and a eunuch. For years after she was taken from her family by a gang of eunuchs, Ms. Nehru dwelled in a subculture of sexual outcasts who rank lower in India than the untouchables. They are notorious for crashing weddings, singing raunchy songs and dancing until paid to leave. << <cut> >>In 1996, a eunuch ran unsuccessfully for Parliament under the slogan: "You don't need genitals for politics. You need brains."<< I'm sorry I read the article . . .
