But it won't be easy. With my garage full of 10 SUV's that l drive continuously to neighboring malls in order to voraciously consume to the limit of my 37 credit cards, this'll probably take a little time. l have other problems too. l set the thermostat at 90degrees during the winter and keep the a/c at 50 degrees all summer and consume 20 pounds of beef a day. (l also shoot 5 deer a day, just to keep all my guns in good order). Hey, fuck the Bill of Rights! the Second Amendment is the only one that counts!). l AM A PATRIOT. l have American flags plastered all over my SUV's and hanging from every branch of every tree in my Zen garden ( you'll see it for yourself when my website comes online!). l'm also proud of my photo collection with personally autographed likenesses of President Reagan and Charlton Heston. But you sure are making me think alot, White Fang! You got my head hurtin' and l don't mean k headaches. The Boston Tea Party never happened? Wow. And l mean, l never woulda thought about oil supplies being limited or about our government doing bad things to other countries in order to get their oil or about technology being bad for our planet or ... Hey, what's a vector anyway? You're deep, man... profound ... vast as Dharmakaya itself. More than anyone, you've shown me how hopelessly mired l am in mindless American propaganda and consumptionism, utterly blind to our manipulative, cynical and amoral goverment. Oops, gotta run. The little lady has a plate full of grits waitin'. Counting on you to show me the way, Bobby Joe Jerry San Rinpoche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
