>> If you can point out what I said that is factually wrong, I'll admit it.

Just off the top of my head, you had two out of two factual errors in our past two discussions: (1) you attributed the word "theft" to usage of intellectual property where no IP contract between the countries named existed. Theft being a legal construct and IP being a relatively modern concept of property, you were dead wrong to characterize it as such when no such agreement between the parties exist. (2) You were dead wrong on your characterization of what Dalai Lama had said about Saddam and I was right on the money. Rather than accepting the obvious, you resorted to ad hominin attacks.

>> BTW, I checked out a copy of "The Art of Happiness" from the library as a book on tape.

Hopefully you will also listen/read through it and then perhaps you will even understand it...let us know how it goes.

>> The author paraphrases private conversations he had with the Dalai Lama, from his notes. It's not actually written by the Dalai Lama.

Now you are being very deceptive, especially in the context of the conversation we had on the subject. I never said that the book was written by Dalai Lama; I said in that book Dalai Lama said... The passage I sited was a direct quote. Yet you go on trying imply that it was merely a paraphrase by the author.

Nice try!
