There is an urban myth that when Gandhi was asked what he thought of Western civilization, he quipped, perhaps cynically, that, "... it seemed to be an interesting idea."
I have had the pleasure of spending the past 2 weeks vacationing leisurely in Europe and, as usual, many thoughts and observations came to mind; especially with regards to Europe's historic and cultural heritage, which as KY's previous post quoted unquestionably, whether one agrees whether that its a good thing or not, contribute significantly to our own intellectual and economic heritage even though we are not of European descent.
So this is going to be a few postings that I will write up once I get back to New York. Until then!
