Yes Lakshmi, it's a very troubling issue. I've been facing it on
several counts, and the examples I use in the blog entry were meant
only to evoke some thought. But I am looking at a resolution to the
problem and would be grateful to anyone who could point me to any
essays that exist on the subject. For those of you who are clueless
what we are talking about, see
