A friend sent me this- enjoy: Instructions for Life in the new millennium from the Dalai Lama: 1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. 2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson. 3. Follow the three Rs: Respect for self, respect for others and responsibility for all your actions. 4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. 5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly. 6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. 7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. 8. Spend some time alone every day. 9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values. 10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. 11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time. 12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life. 13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past. 14. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality. 15. Be gentle with the earth. 16. Once a year, go some place you've never been before. 17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. 18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

It seems these days Bush's only supporters are certain SI prowlers, blind as ever to admission after admission of lies, deceit, and manipulation. Meanwhile, I read this today in International Herald Tribune: "We should force European governments to choose between Paris and Washington. We should insist that all important NATO business be conducted by NATO's military council, on which France does not sit.", say Richard Perle and David Frum, in their book "An End To Evil". This is bizarre stuff. More of that "with us or against us" stuff, combined with a weird psychosis of self-importance and righteousness. Scary to think Perle sits on the Pentagon advisory board. Imagine what sort of conversations are going on there...
