Actually, FYI, devout Hindus are supposed to be vegatarian as are devout
Buddists. Added to that the fact that about 70% of the world cannot

You were hungry and I was sorry.

You were thirsty, and I blamed the world.

You were a stranger, and I pointed you out.

You were naked, and I turned you in.

You were sick, and I said a prayer.

You were in prison, and I wrote a poem.                         STEVE TURNER
