In 1988 or so while a student at University of South Florida (USF)I asked a question to Paul d' Oronzio a PHD in social work regarding Gandhi. In his class Human Behavior and Social Environment II he stated:

"a person's behaviors are the result of the hierarchical restraints of their environments and emergent characteristics of their social environment." I raised my hand and asked innocently " How would this theory explain Mahatma Gandhi who defeated non-violently the British Empire and made them withdraw from India? d' Oronzio the Marxist academic looked at me and said: "the theory is states what the theory states." He would not engage in an honest reply. Later a few years, I reapplied to finish the BSW program at USF and this Academic Leftist dismissed me stating " You asked disturbing questions in my class..." This proves Mahatma's eternal influence, doesn't it?
