Aussie, you're too much!
I have been writing to Befused for a long time and I appreciate everything he stands for.
"Befused" is what Red Barren called him once and it is my term of endearment for him because it is so totally the opposite of who he is.
I also have a long history with the Dalai Lama.
As I recall and you can read back to get the jist-----it was Befused Himself who started the "preaching" without really preaching since he doesn't believe in it. And I don't consider one half sentence to be "preaching" either.
Well, in all good faith (oops!) I am signing off for now.
Hope tomorrow is a better day for both of us.
I have been reading all the Downunder comments and I am sorry for what happened in PNG and think it's horrible. I was really not aware (until reading here) of the Kiwi-Aussie controversy. It happens everywhere---in the N. part of the U.S it's the Finns and the ??? probably the Swedes. Part of life on the planet, not that that makes it right---or pleasant. It's the farthest thing from my mind to take part in it.
Don't you get the sense that I hate this whole thing as much as you do and want to see some pro-activity on the part of NTM as much as anyone?
Sorry, but you are reading this mosquito wrong.
