Forget psychology. Forget the inside of men's heads. Judge them by their actions. For example, Mr. Whistler is asleep. Now, from that action, I take it that he has no interest in what I have to say. The puzzle is, that being the case, why is he here at all? So, we construct a plot from Mr. Whistler's actions:he comes,he sleeps. Now, Aristotle would say that the next question is notwhy, butwhat is Mr. Whistler going to do next? [Mr. Whistler wakes up.] Good morning, Mr. Whistler.

"Thank you. Yeah, absolutely. We operate in 26 countries, in all three areas of the world -- Asia, Africa, and Latin America. And we understand, we recognize very well that each of those is very different. We have to contextualize our programming, both for the region that we're in, and it has to be contextualized from an age perspective. So, to the extent that there is a spiritual and values-driven component to our programming, it is age appropriate; it's culturally appropriate. We teach values that transcend all of the world's great religions. The values that we're teaching in India would be values taught by the Hindu faith,by the Muslim faith,Buddhist faith. They would transcend each of those religions."
