DEEP THOUGHT: "In a culturally confident age, the British in India were faced with the practice of 'suttee' -- the tradition of burning widows on the funeral pyres of their husbands. General Sir Charles Napier was impeccably multicultural: 'You say it is your custom to burn widows. Very well.

You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.'" Mark Steyn, America Alone
