Beth I could not agree with you more, regarding women and children's rights and how they are abused and the attitude of the justice system to these horrible injustices done to them and for the most part largely ignored by the Indian authorities.
But I hope that you realize and are ready for the outpouring of mail that is going to be coming your way, there will be many many letters crying that you are a racist for these views, unfortunately in this country now it appears that you have no rights to an opinion or a voice because that old familiar cry comes from people who are unable to have any type of discussion or who disagree with your opinion and so it is so easy for them, to just to call you a racist.
I have lived many years in different countries around the world and have many many friends from these countries,so to call me a racist is ridiculous, but I have been called that many times here in my own country by bigots and racists themselves, what many people do not understand, the word racist does not mean only white people calling other races and beliefs down, but it means any race colour or religion calling down any another race.
The sooner that people who have came to this country for a better life for them and there children realize,that without a doubt this is the greatest country in the world to live in and raise a family, without fear of any kind.
