#1 Movie Critics. Bomb-throwers. Merged.

I normally have sincere respect for Sikhs, but...

I was in Goa in '92 during the Festival of Colours, a celebration of something or other where the Hindus throw water-based paint on each other. I was sitting on the wall, looking out over the beach to the ocean, in the back of the Holiday Inn - watching the festivities. A huge beach packed with revelers. A few gunshots rung out, but I couldn't see anything. A couple of days later, while dining out with a couple of stock brokers I had met at the hotel, they explained it was a Sikh and he had killed one of the Hindus for inadvertently splashing some paint on him during the happy mêlée on the beach.

This is The Global Age of Organized Touchiness. And it's armed to the teeth.
