Hi Thorn, Hey I was not trying to tick you off or the admins. The sheep reference is mainly biblical. In the bible we are all refered to as sheep on several occasions. I think it is a pretty accurate protrayal of people as a whole. As for the Dalai Lama and the neutron bomb. it is in the book Imagine All The People - A Conversation With The Dalai Lama On Money, Politics, And Life As It Could Be. Yeh, I know it is shocking the Dalai Lama saying that if there has got to be war then lets do it with neutron bombs because that makes the most sense. It freaked me out the first few times I read it also then I came to understand his reasoning and the practicallity of it. He is a wise man filled with great ideas that he knows and acknowledges will never happen. Yet he never gives up. You really have to admire that. I try to catch his seminars when he is in Seattle at the UW. I think his teaching reminds me of all the Native American teaching I used to study - beautiful but impractical in a modern, materialistic, and cut throat world.
