I have waited for very long to see such a sensible article in Rediff. Congradulations to the author. You have put information in a most simple but elegant manner. Obsession to liberlism and so called progressive attitudes had, for long, sidelined moderates branding them conservatives or some other dumb looking name. You have clearly established in very few words that a resonale life is not so costly and also that it is a pragmatic approach.
