Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral
pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we
hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall
therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the
widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.
[Charles James Napier sanoi tuhmasti näin Intiassa kerran]
[PS. Ne joiden mielestä leskien polttaminen on ihan okei, koska kulttuurit ovat kaikki samanarvoisia, käsi ylös!]
