Satyagraha:Ghandi Offers A Murderer A Way Out of Hell
"I'm going to Hell! I killed a child! I smashed his head against a wall."
Ghandi, looks at the man, and tries to sooth him.
"Why?," Ghandi asks.
"Because they killed my son! The Muslims killed my son!"
The man holds his hand up to show the boy's height, only about eight or nine years old. He puts his head in his hands.
Ghandi says softly, "I know a way out of Hell."

Notes for A Modern Descent into Hell
How should I pack?
What should I wear? Walking shorts and a polo shirt? Nothing? (If so, is there a nudist beach?)
Do I need dark glasses?
What should I say if I meet people I know? Good seeing you here! How's business?
Do I tip the ferryman?
Should I carry a foreign language phrase book?
Do they have welcome kits?
Do I take my American Express card?
Can I get a room with at least HBO and cable TV?
