I am so sorry I ever brought up Gandhi. I had no idea what I was loosing
upon the world. I ask the List to forgive me.

>>I guess you don't like Gandhi. ... You like petunias?
Petunias are a filthy boring flower, the purple, the red, the white petunias--all pedestrian trash blooms not worthy of a garbage can. Easily grown, easily spread like so many Wal-Marts or asphalt traffic islands, not worth the concern of serious gardeners, petunias are a blight. They are for the lazy, the half-assed, those who would plant such ragtag and bobtail trumpery of the earth are beneath contempt, and their efforts should end in ridicule. Petunias are subaltern refuse like Gandhi ... [loud gagging sound] ... and I will speak of them no more.
Alexander the Great, on the other hand, he knew how to garden. He also knew how to die in a garden, namely Nebuchadnezzar's palace garden in Babylon. The comparison is odious and I will no longer allude to it.
