Thank u all for participating in this contentious n thorny debate that could go on endlessly albeit inconclusively. Never mind if ur POVs r different from what I think. I hv gone through all comments and wanted to reply to each n every comment separately. Then thought of dealing with all the posts together.
@cari sis, vash & adib,
Thnx for sharing more or less overlapping views that is a huge encouragement in itself. It saves me from the scary thought of being the odd soul in this forum.
