Note to self: just wondering

I wonder if I’m the only one who didn’t know the cows, pigs and donkeys wandering the streets of India don’t belong to anyone. I assumed that after wandering around town all day they went home at night.

So, I asked my driver, “Who do these animals belong to?”
“No one”, he replies.
“Really, they are strays?”
“Yes.”
“So if I lived here and I decided I wanted to take that nice cow home that would be fine?”

He laughs. “If the cow wanted to go with you, that would be fine…”

    hi:

    Witold sent me the link to your blog. We are both here! How are you getting video on your blog? Mine keeps failing every time I do it. Not sure if it’s my connection or something else.

    • hi Jen, I upload it to youtube. then I click share and copy the ’embed’ code. I go back to wordpress and paste the embed code into the blog 🙂 Are you in India? If so I would like to say hi to you both in person 🙂
      Om shanti,
      Roberta

      Vodpod is a surefire way to get video onto WordPress. There are also documented shortcuts [video=url] for embedding video on the WordPress blog.

      The anthropologist Marvin Harris gives a materialist (some would say Marxist) view of why cows are allowed to roam freely. (Hint: it’s about the dung.)
