I actually haven't heard that one before, and it seems to work fine in my IE, but i'll investigate this. Could you tell me which version of IE you are using? That might help me figure this out.Sunilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07776658071546232685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212356.post-33131663524053422882008-09-14T08:09:00.000-07:002008-09-14T08:09:00.000-07:00Iam looking at your website in IE and the left han...Iam looking at your website in IE and the left hand side coloumn is coming near the right hand coloumn right on the post, making it tough to read.

Why do many of us dismiss stuff as "stuff white people like", as if it will not appeal to us? Is there a cultural component towards recreation?Sunilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07776658071546232685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212356.post-87076426160110302312008-09-05T00:14:00.000-07:002008-09-05T00:14:00.000-07:00Hi: very evocative!

Your observation about the absence of minorities in parks is accurate. Here in the UK, there's an organisation called Ramblers who support and encourage hikers and walkers, and there are few minorities of any ethnicity that participate in them. You might see the odd school-child, but few adults of Indian or African ancestry. In fact, in a bid to promote health among these minorities, many municipalities have tied up with the Ramblers to organise free walks in the city and country; an elderly desi woman who participated in one recently and enjoyed herself thoroughly remarked,"I thought this was something only white people did." <BR/><BR/>A similar aversion seems to exist in matters cultural too. In the US, I rarely saw any black people or desis or Hispanics at Broadway shows or art exhibitions or the theatre. In the UK there's possibly a slightly better participation, but still far less than one would expect given their share of the country's population.FĂ«anorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101113676992105240noreply@blogger.com
