South Africa and India

Well, the South African Prez. is visiting India and I was thinking about the 'huge' contrast.

India and Indian politicians and Indian 'mores.'

Indians like to 'shun' all talk related to 'sex' ... it's all hush-hush ... like staling money, or something. Though, I think, most Indians have a corrupt mindset and would not mind making money on the sly if they had an option.

Mr. Zuma belongs to the other extreme. He lets it all hang out as it were. An openly 'polygamous' man ... which of course makes him a somewhat awkward 'role model' in the AIDS war.

Well, to each his own. Sachin Tendulkar is great. But, so is Tiger Woods. And also Magic Johnson of the thousand ladies fame.
