Today's Reading: Gandhi

This article about Gandhi was interesting, although it certainly has an agenda. Without doing too much verification of the article (although Wikipedia seems to back up most of the claims, I guess I enjoy seeing the faults of legendary people revealed. It is sad to not have idealists to admire, but maybe it is better to know that ordinary people, with all of the same flaws we have to face in ourselves and the people around us, are capable of accomplishing great things. This is also a good reminder to me that there are still huge gaps in my knowledge of world history.
