By the way, I'm kind of sick of people saying we should imitate Ghandi. Am I the only one who knows that he was a wife beater, pedophile and enema lover. He also wrote to Hitler telling him to stop his aggression. Fine. But when Hitler didn't comply, he wrote to the Allies telling them they should stop their resistance.
There are other people who could serve as much better models: Jesus, Stephen, Elijah. We don't need to enlist Ghandi as one of them.
