Spot On with your article.

Yes, I believe it had brought India to the attention of the Western World, and yes, it has brought attention to the difference between rich and poor.

Personally, having seen the movie, I'd like to think that maybe it will open doors for Westerners and India itself to help its poor and narrow, if not diminish, the rich poor divide.

Yes, many of us will never experience the horrors and struggles that these children live with each day, and yes, many of us will never experience hunger unless we choose to diet!

There are no coincidences - this movie was made for a reason and at the right time. Let's see what comes of it.

For me - I'm very pleased I watched it and proud someone took the time to make it.

Again, your article was spot on and a good read.

on Bad Taste Pastor: Bushfires Punish Abortion State

So the Pastor must have come right out of the dark ages or more maybe Salem and the witch trials. What we've witnessed in Victoria has been the miracle of human spirit. Yes many perished and lives were lost and the emotional toll is what history will record. And for that record - most fires were deliberately lit by person or persons that had their own issues and instabilities - so what does the Pastor have to say about that particularly important issue - that someone could be so mentally ill that he would start a fire just to watch it and everyone around burn. Many wars were waged in the name of religion and many lives were taken in the name of right and wrong. No, this Pastor should hold his words and his flock and maybe see what everyone else is seeing, the generosity of perfect strangers who opened their hearts and wallets and will continue to do so until all these victims can rebuild their lives again. This they do not because of colour, creed or religion. This they do because they are Victorians - Australians and they have the spirit that this Pastor obviously misplaced.

May strength and common sense guide all these victims.
