Well, lay it on us, then. I agree, there should have been more meat on the bone, but not knowing shit about Mother Theresa, it was interesting to see what she spent the money on and her philosophy on suffering, even if it was a highly simplified version.

Three things. One, wasn't it underage girls that he was "laying around" with? Two, I thought they did a good job of exposing his racism. Three, the point seemed to be that this holier-than-thou attitude was bullshit. So, the fact that P&T lay around with naked girls, the same as Ghandi seemed to do, means that he
isn't really holier than them (or anyone else). Hell, that's partly what convinced Malcolm X that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was full of it.
