    Barack Obama is a Buddhist

    Oh geez!!!!!!!! I just detest the ignorance of the naive masses!!! Why is it that our citizenry is so malleable? And unable to think critically? Do not say it is because we watch too much TV. I think we are just plain arrogant and lazy in our capacity to question and wonder! (Hmmm....I guess that is related to watching too much TV!) And what is the "reward" when we finally do see that the "Emperor has no clothes?"

    Despair and fantasies of moving to New Zealand!!
