How interesting - isn't it all possible that Sita actually _existed_,
as opposed to being "myth and imagination"? Perhaps I'm just reading
it wrong, but I don't think so.
Hey, if someone wants to start a boycott, you can get two birds with
one stone - someone recently released a perfume called "Avatar". I
don't know if anyone boycotted the Gap for their perfume, whatever it
was called - "Om - the sixth scent", I think.
