So development or underdevelopment is not the criteria when it come to the situation of "too many cooks spoiling the dish".<br /><br />But you are correct it would have polluted the minds of young children in more ways than one. The first being so many Santa Clause. Second the Santa Clause is seen as a soul spreading peace and love with gifts. But in reality they got to see a different picture.harihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770015716549903955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643109.post-1102906346742653692004-12-13T02:52:00.000+00:002004-12-13T02:52:00.000+00:00And Yeah.

They arent over-dissected and psycho-analysed, the way children in the West seem to be. Everything (house-moving, new school, whatever) is treated as traumatic when it doesnt NEED to be. When I wrote that last sentence, I wasnt sure of my own attitude at the time - I didnt know whether I meant it seriously or ironically. Perhaps a bit of both! :)Shammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905000396589717457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643109.post-1102869239852575452004-12-12T16:33:00.000+00:002004-12-12T16:33:00.000+00:00Rums, I shall sincerely try not to mention that m-...Rums, I shall sincerely try not to mention that m-word again. ;-) You're giving me an awful lot of grief for ONE post that isnt even to do with the painful part of mathematics! :-) (oops, I said the m-word)Shammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905000396589717457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643109.post-1102865492442639782004-12-12T15:31:00.000+00:002004-12-12T15:31:00.000+00:00well i found the last line something exactly what ...well i found the last line something exactly what i would've thought of...<br />maybe the fact that you are an indian, you realize that such things do have an effect on people..sad that american children are that vulnerable, to make weaker adults.
