Thanks. I always get a bit nervous when I "go over the top on a post", but we have to start talking, thinking and learning these sophisticated concepts our wise ones have taught us. I have lived my whole life in the rough and tough mean streets, and the cut throat political world and the cut throat business world. I have seen too many people who dismiss our greatest wise men and women as nothing more than silly oddities who espouse useless esoteria whihc they substitute with philosophies of "greed is good". It is not! Unbridled efforts for money, power and status, ride with the four horsemen of the apocolypse! I never once encouragaed my own children in thsoe directions. I suggested developmentof the mind and kindness were the goals I felt were the more proper goals. And the contention of way too many that our wise ones are not being realistic and not worth taking time to read They are being the most realistic of all. In the 60's we were learning from the wise ones. For the last 30 years we have been learning from leaders who dismiss these people. So here we are today with almost all people feeling we are going in the wrong direction and things are not working out. Our country has taken a dangerous and dismal turn over the last 30 years. Well, I maintain the above reasons are the resaon. Maybe it takes hard times to focus peoples minds on the really important issues like the compassionate and sophisticated thinking which will be necessary not only for our suvival as a species, but for a real quality of life. Like when we realized Hoover for what he was and turned to Roosevelt and the New Deal! cheers Chuck
