He was a freedom fighter against British colonialism and a statesman who was well regarded around the world. He traveled to Germany, Netherlands, France and Switzerland to lobby against British concentration camps and the imprisonment of women and children. Go look at his biography for yourself. <br /><br />According to the "Guilty by association" logic that is demonstrated in this article, one could also reason that anything that is named after Thomas Jefferson or George Washington (who used to own MANY slaves), should also have a connotation with slavery, oppression and disregard of human rights....<br /><br />...Of course I'm not subscribing to the above mentioned school of thought and merely went on a tangent to display the flaws of this argument.<br /><br />I actually stumbled upon your article because I just bought myself a nice estate Sasieni "Oom Paul" :)<br />Happy puffing!Andrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04648063958642534349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3587971900144809761.post-537888163179309692012-07-15T23:01:36.530+01:002012-07-15T23:01:36.530+01:00you got to see & try Storients meerschaum OOM ...you got to see & try Storients meerschaum OOM PAUL : www.meerschaumpipe.usAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3587971900144809761.post-87313076134384707522012-07-01T03:26:28.894+01:002012-07-01T03:26:28.894+01:00Very helpful article.
