   how about "grasping to conformity" peter?   
      
   since we have a dalai lama and not a buddha, do you have any idea why   
   he studies those books? what is function "was" in governing the people   
   of tibet? he was isolated and studied only the wisdom texts. all of   
   them. every country. even the west.   
      
   the when his cabinet came in, his general, his domestic, foreign   
   relations advisers etc...they would debate in front of the dalai lama   
   and it was kundun's job to find the illusions, weed out the personally   
   motivated agendas... and to make final decision which, we assume was   
   implemented as soon as they left but he would never know.   
      
   now, apply those powers peter...   
      
   "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no   
   matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are   
   dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who   
   believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who   
   believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to   
   you name it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should   
   give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter   
   what," Romney said.   
      
   here is the current republican political pov... how does the   
   government "employee" get paid? taxes. all of the people pay their   
   taxes and give the whole loot over to the government who then skim the   
   capital and gamble the rest away taking up the meager gains and   
   passing the loses on to the tax payer... he is from a generation of   
   Jews who paid for their diplomas and did not earn them, dependent on   
   the government that cares for him, pays his health bills, food,   
   housing, name it...   
      
   Romney added: "My job is is not to worry about those people. I'll   
   never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care   
   for their lives. What I have to do is convince the 5-10 percent of   
   people who are independents, that are thoughtful, that look at voting   
   one way or the other depending upon, in some cases, emotion, whether   
   they like the guy or not."   
      
   and romney does not pay taxes...   
      
   oh... oh... oh oh oh... "what is a leech."
